Abstract
Forty-two dogs with lameness emanating from the shoulder joint were studied by clinical examination, radiographic examination, joint fluid analysis, and arthroscopic examination, following a set protocol. Dogs with mild clinical signs, absent or mild radiographic signs of osteoarthrosis, and without or with very mild changes in the synovial fluid, may still have moderate to severe degenerative pathological changes in the shoulder joint.
