2nd Time: Medial Shoulder Instability Help! Anyone

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone,

I need some advice on a particular case. This is a 5 year old yellow lab

who I have been seeing recently. Two years prior the dog had surgical

correction for biceps tendonitis which it recovered to fully from. Late

last year it presented with the same clinical signs on the other front leg

and again went for surgery. The dog has since been lame on the limb. The

surgeon at them time said that there was not a tremendous about of

inflammation in the area which puzzled him but he still performed the

release. Since then the dog has had chronic stiffness in the limb when

getting up from laying down, limps on the limb 24/7and often it slides

out. I suggested to the owner to seek a second orthopedic option and MRI

of bilat. shoulders. This surgeon Dx. Medial Gleniod Humoral ligament

injury w/ secondary injury to the supraspinatous. The surgeon opted

against surgical correction and suggested therapy for the next four weeks

with reevaluation. We are currently Cold Lasering and hydrotherapy. I need

your guidance on experience with these medial instability injuries and any

additional exercise or therapy ideas. Thanks for your help.
