Bicipital tenosynovitis is a common cause of forelimb lameness in dogs. It typically occurs in medium-sized or large, middle-aged or older animals. A history of chronic, progressive or intermittent, moderate to severe weight-bearing lameness that is exacerbated by exercise is often reported, and in most instances, an inciting cause is not identified. Diagnosis requires a planned and systematic approach and is often challenging. Medical and surgical therapies exist, but definitive recommendations regarding the optimum treatment modalities have not been fully established. The prognosis for dogs with bicipital tenosynovitis is generally good to excellent in animals that undergo surgical therapy; however, long-term follow-up of clinical patients is limited.
肱二头肌腱鞘炎是犬前肢跛行的常见原因。它通常发生在中型或大型的中年或老年动物身上。常报告有慢性、进行性或间歇性的中度至重度负重跛行病史，运动时会加重，且在大多数情况下，未发现诱因。诊断需要有计划、系统的方法，且往往具有挑战性。存在药物和手术治疗方法，但关于最佳治疗方式的明确建议尚未完全确立。接受手术治疗的患肱二头肌腱鞘炎的犬预后通常良好至极佳；然而，临床患者的长期随访有限。
