Surgical stabilization technique and long-term outcome of traumatic lateral shoulder luxation in a dog.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo describe a surgical stabilization technique and immediate postoperative care for traumatic lateral shoulder luxation in a dog as well as report long-term clinical outcome. ANIMALS: One dog. STUDY
designCase report.
methodsFollowing failed closed reduction, the surgical stabilization of traumatic, acute, lateral shoulder luxation included three, figure-of-eight 40 # fluorocarbon sutures. On one end, all three sutures were passed through a 2.7 mm screw anchor placed in the scapula neck, craniodistal to the acromion. The free ends of two sutures were passed through two drilled bone tunnels in the greater tubercule. The third figure-of-eight suture was looped around a 2.7 mm cortical screw and washer placed in the caudolateral aspect of the humeral metaphysis. A spica splint was placed and maintained for 4 weeks postoperatively and changed weekly.
resultsThere were no major nor minor complications within the 9 months follow-up. By 6 weeks, only mild grade 1/5 lameness was reported on orthopedic examination. At the last two rechecks at 19 and 40 weeks postoperatively, orthopedic examination revealed minimally decreased shoulder flexion and extension with pain-free range of motion (ROM) and no clinical lameness.
conclusionThe novel surgical stabilization technique described in this report to address lateral shoulder luxation in a dog is technically straightforward and, in our case, provided good, lameness-free clinical outcome.
