  • Title: Repair of shoulder luxation in a horse.
    Author: Madison JB, Young D, Richardson D.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1991 Feb 01; 198(3):455-6. PubMed ID: 2010342.
    Abstract:
    Shoulder luxation in a 3-year-old Thoroughbred filly was treated by closed reduction, using a calf jack to provide traction on the limb. Arthroscopic examination of the shoulder allowed removal of soft tissue and bony debris. After surgery, the filly was confined to a box stall for 6 months. Eight months after surgery, the filly was doing light work and was not lame. Muscular atrophy present before surgery had resolved. Use of a calf jack may allow reduction of shoulder luxation under field conditions.
