Triceps brachii muscle reconstruction with a latissimus dorsi muscle flap in a dog.

Case Description: A 6-year-old spayed female Border Collie was examined for a severe deformity of the right forelimb. Three months prior to examination, the patient awkwardly fell off the couch and became acutely lame in the right forelimb, progressing to non-weight bearing over the following 72 hours.

Clinical Findings: On physical examination, the dog carried the limb caudally against the thoracic wall, with the shoulder flexed and elbow in extension.
