Abstract
< 0.0001). No complications were recorded by the time of last direct follow-up, which was at a mean of 12.4 weeks after surgery. Needle arthroscopy offers an alternative, safe technique to reliably diagnose canine medial shoulder instability. Shorter anesthesia times and lower costs to the client may be advantages of needle over classic arthroscopy.
