  • Biceps Brachii Tendinopathy Biomechanics

    Christopher Potanas, DVM, DACVS-SA (Naples, FL), reviews the pathophysiology and biomechanics of biceps brachii tendinopathy and discusses its role in shoulder instability, as well as its progression to conditions such as osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) and osteoarthritis. This video is presented...

    • Duration 5m

  • Shoulder Instability

    Laxity or tearing of stabilizing ligaments and capsule, leading to abnormal humeral head movement. Surgical stabilization techniques aim to restore normal biomechanics and prevent degenerative changes from occurring.

    • Path

  • Distal Humeral Fractures

    Breaks in the distal humerus affecting the elbow articulation, often due to trauma. Surgical repair is crucial for restoring normal biomechanics and preventing the progression of arthritis.

    • Path

  • Biceps Tendinopathies

    Inflammation/degeneration of the biceps brachii tendon in the intertubercular groove, producing shoulder pain and reduced stability. Arthroscopic evaluation with tenotomy/tenodesis and biologic augmentation is common in persistent cases.

    • Path

  • Infraspinatus Tendon Injuries

    Fibrotic contracture or tendon injury of the infraspinatus causing abducted limb posture and decreased shoulder range of motion. Surgical release or tendon procedures restore motion and relieve lameness.

  • Canine Shoulder Instability and Luxation Biomechanics

    Christopher Potanas, DVM, DACVS-SA (Naples, FL), reviews the biomechanics, pathophysiology, and classification of canine shoulder instability and luxation. This video is presented in memoriam to Dr. Christopher Potanas.

    • Duration 8m

  • Shoulder Luxation

    Complete displacement of the humeral head from the glenoid cavity, often caused by trauma or severe ligamentous and capsular disruption. Surgical intervention focuses on restoring joint congruity, stabilizing soft tissue structures, and preventing recurrent luxation and degenerative changes.

    • Path

  • Proximal Humeral Fractures

    Fracture of the humeral head or neck, frequently caused by trauma. Repair strategies depend on fracture configuration and may involve internal fixation or prosthetic replacement for severe cases.

    • Path

  • Shoulder Stabilization Case Review

    Sean Murphy, DVM, DACVS-SA (Boise, ID), reviews multiple shoulder stabilization cases, discusses commonly used techniques, and offers practical tips for achieving successful clinical outcomes.

    • Duration 3m

  • Scapula Fractures

    Breaks in the scapular body or neck, typically from high-impact trauma. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical fixation for displaced fractures affecting shoulder function.

    • Path

  • Lateral Approach for DFO Application

    Sean Murphy, DVM, DACVS-SA (Boise, ID), demonstrates the lateral surgical approach for a distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) and reviews key anatomic structures.

    • Duration 5m

  • Surgical Approaches

    Explore comprehensive surgical approach demonstrations organized by body region. These videos highlight anatomy, landmarks, and safe dissection planes to support surgical planning and execution.

  • Biomechanics of the Canine Elbow

    Christopher Potanas, DVM, DACVS-SA (Naples, FL), discusses the biomechanics, pathomechanics, and classifications of elbow dysplasia in the canine elbow. This video is presented in memoriam to Dr. Christopher Potanas.

    • Duration 9m

  • Shoulder Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)

    A developmental cartilage disorder leading to flap formation and joint inflammation in the canine shoulder. Common in large-breed dogs, it affects the caudal humeral head and often requires arthroscopic removal for pain relief and improved function.
