This case-based webinar and Q&A discusses supraspinatus tendinopathy (SST), a common cause of forelimb lameness in performance, working, and active companion dogs. The condition involves injury to the supraspinatus, a major tendon responsible for shoulder extension that can be challenging to diagnose and treat.
Doctors Sherman and Debra Canapp walk you through the step-by-step palpation techniques and diagnostic tests they use to help identify this difficult soft tissue injury. They also review and demonstrate treatment options that include medical management, rehabilitation therapy, and regenerative medicine/orthobiologic injections.
Key talking points
- How to identify SST on palpation
- Diagnostics to help confirm the injury
- Review of several real-life cases: history, presentation, diagnostics, treatments, rehab, recovery, and return to function
- Additional treatment options
- Q&A session with the Canapps
