Original publication title: Imaging diagnosis-bilateral abnormal ossification of the supraglenoid tubercle and cranial glenoid cavity in an English Setter.
Plain-English summary
An 8-month-old male English Setter was brought to the vet because he was limping on both front legs. X-rays and CT scans showed unusual bone growth around his shoulder joints. After 30 days of cage rest, the vet found that some of the bone areas had healed, but there were still some issues with the shoulder joints. The vet diagnosed him with a condition related to abnormal bone development.

Abstract
An 8-month-old intact male English Setter was presented with bilateral shoulder lameness. Radiographic and CT examinations demonstrated bilateral irregular margination and separation of the supraglenoid tubercle from the scapula, with involvement of the cranial articular surface of the glenoid cavity. After 30 days of cage rest, complete fusion of proximal portions of both supraglenoid tubercles and persistent un-united cranial portions of both glenoid cavities were evident. Histopathologic findings from biopsies of glenoid cavity defects were consistent with osteochondrosis or focal chondrodysplasia.
