This report describes the use of a pressure-sensitive walkway to evaluate an uncommon case of a cat with dorsal luxation of the left scapula and an amputated right forelimb. The findings suggest that limb amputation induced load redistribution mostly to the contralateral forelimb despite the scapular luxation.

The patient histories, findings from clinical examinations, diagnostic imaging techniques, the surgical procedures, complications, necropsy findings and the outcomes from five male or castrated male alpacas with scapulohumeral sub-/luxation are presented. These alpacas each had a history of severe forelimb lameness for one week (n: 1), four weeks (n: 2) and for two-to-three months (n: 2). Two of the five alpacas were euthanized due to severe osteoarthritic changes that developed during the two-to-three months of scapulohumeral luxation.

Scapular luxation is an uncommon cause of forelimb lameness in dogs and cats. Traumatic rupture of the serratus ventralis muscle allows the scapula to displace dorsally during weight-bearing. Specific documentation regarding clinical presentation and surgical techniques is limited, with no medium- to long-term results of surgical intervention in dogs described.
