Arthrodesis for congenital luxation of the shoulder in a dog.
Congenital luxation of the shoulder in a 7-month-old Chihuahua was corrected by use of arthrodesis. A single lag-screw fixation technique was used. Arthrodesis of the shoulder provides a favorable alternative to other salvage techniques such as glenohumeral resection or amputation.
