Three months prior to examination, the patient awkwardly fell off the couch and became acutely lame in the right forelimb, progressing to non\u2013weight bearing over the following 72 hours.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Findings<\/jats:bold>\u2014On physical examination, the dog carried the limb caudally against the thoracic wall, with the shoulder flexed and elbow in extension. The right triceps brachii muscle was atrophied and contracted, resulting in a resistant tension band effect that precluded manipulation of the right elbow joint. The physical changes in the triceps muscle were considered the primary cause of the patient's loss of limb function.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Treatment and Outcome<\/jats:bold>\u2014Surgical treatment by means of elevation and transposition of the ipsilateral latissimus dorsi muscle was performed. The exposed triceps brachii muscles were transected 3 cm proximal to the tendons of insertion. Via a separate incision, the right latissimus dorsi muscle was elevated and tunneled subcutaneously beneath the interposing skin between the 2 surgical incisions. The muscle was then positioned and sutured to the proximal and distal borders of the divided triceps muscle group. Two weeks later, physical therapy was initiated. After 2 months, the patient regularly walked on the limb most of the time (9\/10 steps).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014The surgical procedure for elevation and transposition of the latissimus dorsi muscle was relatively simple to perform. Physical therapy was an essential component to achieving the successful functional outcome in this case. This technique may be considered for treatment of similar patients in which the triceps muscle group is severely compromised.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.246.2.226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,2]],"date-time":"2015-01-02T15:14:07Z","timestamp":1420211647000},"page":"226-230","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Triceps brachii muscle reconstruction with a latissimus dorsi muscle flap in a dog"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"246","author":[{"given":"Michael M.","family":"Pavletic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Russell","family":"Kalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Tribou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pam J.","family":"Mouser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Miller's anatomy of the dog","first-page":"344","author":"Evans","year":"1979"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Vet Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.1987.tb00954.x","article-title":"A comparison of the cutaneous trunci myocutaneous flap and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in the dog","volume":"16","author":"Pavletic","year":"1987"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am","first-page":"127","article-title":"Introduction to myocutaneous and muscle flaps","volume":"30","author":"Pavletic","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Atlas of small animal wound management and reconstructive surgery","first-page":"481","article-title":"Myocutanous and muscle flaps","author":"Pavletic","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg","first-page":"329","article-title":"Restoration of elbow flexion and arm contour with the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap","volume":"70","author":"Brones","year":"1982"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg","first-page":"117","article-title":"Restoration of elbow flexion by latissimus dorsi myocutaneous or muscle flap","volume":"109","author":"Chen","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"J Shoulder Elbow Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"84","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2006.03.006","article-title":"Restoration of elbow function with pedicle latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap transfer","volume":"16","author":"Kawamura","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Ann Chir Plast Esthet","first-page":"366","article-title":"Breast reconstruction using muscle sparing latissimus dorsi flap and fat grafting","volume":"57","author":"Verber","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Clin cardiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"681","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.4960121203","article-title":"Dynamic cardiomyoplasty for treatment of heart failure","volume":"12","author":"Hill","year":"1989"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Oper Orthop Traumatol","first-page":"122","article-title":"Free latissimus dorsi flap transfer for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the lower extremity [in German]","volume":"24","author":"Knobloch","year":"2012"}],"container-title":["Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/246\/2\/javma.246.2.226.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/246\/2\/javma.246.2.226.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/246\/2\/javma.246.2.226.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T11:45:10Z","timestamp":1741347910000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/246\/2\/javma.246.2.226.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,15]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2460\/javma.246.2.226","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1488"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0003-1488"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,15]]}}}
