Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old dog was brought in for pain and swelling in the shoulder, which was diagnosed as bicipital tenovaginitis (inflammation of the tendon in the shoulder) along with severe arthritis. X-rays and CT scans showed significant bone growth around the tendon. The vet performed surgery to correct the issue, which successfully relieved the dog's pain and improved mobility. After the procedure, the dog was able to move more comfortably.

Abstract
Successful surgical correction of bicipital tenovaginitis and extensive new bone formation in the shoulder joint of an 8-year-old dog is described. Radiography and computed tomography revealed severe arthrosis of the shoulder joint with osteophyte formation encircling the bicipital tendon in the intertubercular groove. The diagnostic approach and therapy are described and discussed with reference to recent literature.
