title: Sartorius muscle contracture in a dog.
abstract: An adult male German Shepherd dog presented with a chronic non-painful, non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb. On clinical examination a contracted sarotorius muscle was palpable. Histopathology of the affected muscle confirmed replacement fibrosis and muscle contracture. Surgical excision of the muscle resulted in complete recovery.
