title: Forelimb lameness in the adult patient.
abstract: Lameness of the forelimb may be one of the more frustrating problems in small animal orthopedics. It is likely that numerous causes of forelimb lameness are not yet defined or well understood. The common and some less common causes of forelimb lameness are discussed as well as their means of diagnosis. The application of new diagnostic tools including arthroscopy and ultrasound are also discussed.
