AI Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses the treatment of a juvenile reindeer with severe lameness caused by a chronic shoulder injury involving a fracture and dislocation.
- The reindeer underwent surgery for scapulohumeral arthrodesis, followed by an extensive recovery process that included stall confinement and physical therapy.
- Nine months later, the reindeer was able to walk and stand equally on both legs, highlighting the effectiveness of combining veterinary techniques from other species with specific anesthesia considerations for reindeer.
Article Abstract
This case report describes the anesthetic, surgical, and postoperative management of scapulohumeral arthrodesis in a juvenile reindeer with severe lameness due to a chronic proximal humeral fracture and scapulohumeral luxation. The reindeer was managed with prolonged stall confinement and physical therapy and 9 months postoperatively was walking and bearing weight equally when standing. This case demonstrates that comparative techniques from other veterinary species coupled with considerations for reindeer anesthesia can be successful in restoring functional soundness after scapulohumeral arthrodesis.

Scapulothoracic dissociation due to a trauma is exceptional. The purpose of this study was to share our experience with a case of scapulothoracic dissociation and to explain the advantages of our approach. We report the case of a 12-year-old right-handed schoolgirl admitted to hospital with a blunt trauma to the right thoracic limb complicated by infection after a week of traditional treatment (massage, bandaging with reed splints).

Introduction: Scapulothoracic arthrodesis may be proposed to patients having facio-scapulohumeral dystrophy to achieve gains in shoulder motion and pain relief. This study aimed to assess shoulder motion, pain and functional scores at last follow-up and to present a method of computed tomography measurements of the position of the scapulothoracic arthrodesis and study their correlations with shoulder motion.
Patients And Methods: Seven patients (11 arthrodesis) were included.

Osteosarcoma represents one of the most common bone tumours in dogs. It commonly occurs in the proximal humerus, the most affected anatomic site. Until recently, amputation or limb-sparing surgery leading to an arthrodesis coupled with chemotherapy were the only available treatments, but they often lead to complications, reduced mobility and highly impact dog's quality of life.
