Probable avulsion of the infraspinatus tendon of insertion in a Rottweiler
2011
Abstract CASE HISTORY: An 8.5-month-old male
Rottweilerwas presented with chronic, non-localisable, right
forelimb
lameness. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Survey radiographs revealed
panosteitisin the right antebrachium and an irregularly marginated radiolucency on the lateral aspect of the proximal left
humerus. The
tendonof insertion of the left
infraspinatus musclewas enlarged, some
tendonfibres ended prematurely in a cluster of mineralised particles, and there was a large bony defect at the point of insertion. DIAGNOSIS: Probable
avulsionof the left infraspinatus
tendon. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This case was particularly unusual due to the marked prominence of the lesion without
lamenessof the left
forelimb.
Avulsionof the infraspinatus
tendonis poorly described in the veterinary and
medical literature.
