Sažetak
This report describes a straightforward surgical technique for open treatment of a scapulohumeral joint derangement in a very small patient. A case of an open repair of a traumatic left scapulohumeral luxation in a degu (Octodon degus) with a synthetic ligament is described. The progress of healing was monitored clinically and radiographically. Seroma formation two weeks postoperatively was the only minor complication recorded. There were no major complications. The patient started using the limb 19 days postoperatively and full return of function was achieved within 60 days.
