The results of a detailed investigation of 58 horses with suspected shoulder lameness are described. Lameness was found to originate distal to the shoulder region in 22 horses. No diagnosis was reached in five horses. Genuine shoulder problems occurred in 29 horses. The clinical signs of shoulder lameness are described and contrasted with lower limb lameness. The limitations of currently available diagnostic techniques are discussed. Problems identified in the shoulder region included osteochondritis dissecans, subchondral bone cysts, arthrosis, fracture, luxation, septic arthritis and soft tissue damage. Some of the differences between osteochondritis dissecans and subchondral bone cysts are described and it is suggested that these are two separate conditions.
本文描述了对58匹疑似肩部跛行马匹的详细调查结果。在22匹马中，跛行被发现起源于肩部区域的远端。五匹马未得出诊断结果。29匹马出现了真正的肩部问题。本文描述了肩部跛行的临床症状，并与下肢跛行进行了对比。讨论了当前可用诊断技术的局限性。在肩部区域发现的问题包括剥脱性骨软骨炎、软骨下骨囊肿、关节炎、骨折、脱位、化脓性关节炎和软组织损伤。文中描述了剥脱性骨软骨炎和软骨下骨囊肿之间的一些差异，并表明这是两种不同的病症。
