Scapulohumeral arthrodesis was performed successfully as treatment for severe degenerative arthritis in a 62-kg miniature horse. Using an approach similar to that used for a dog, this horse's scapulohumeral joint was opened, the cartilage was removed, and the site was stabilized, using an 11-hole narrow dynamic compression plate. Fusion was uncomplicated. The stallion became a successful pasture-breeding animal.
对一匹62公斤重的迷你马实施肩胛肱骨关节固定术,成功治疗了严重的退行性关节炎。采用与犬类手术相似的方法,切开这匹马的肩胛肱骨关节,去除软骨,并用一块11孔窄动力加压钢板固定该部位。融合过程顺利。这匹种马后来成功用于牧场繁殖。
