What is the best way to reduce medial traumatic shoulder luxation in 11wk old fox terrier pup?

Beats — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 21:07:28 GMT

Of my 3 go to surgery texts (Tobias, Butterworth and Denny, and Fossum, not all current editions), only Fossum provides practical advice:

It states that for a LATERAL luxation then to place in extension and apply medial pressure on humeral head and lateral pressure on distal scapula (or words to that effect I think - don't have open in front of me).

It then states that for a MEDIAL luxation (a few sentences on), to do the opposite of the approach to reducing a lateral luxation.

This led me to try reducing it in flexion for some time, before eventually just fiddling about based on first principles and eventually popping it back in extension and concluding that the "opposite" part perhaps referred to the medial and lateral pressure only and not whether was flexed or extended, and perhaps was meant to be extended when reducing in both lateral and medial scapulohumeral luxations?

Can someone with more experience or knowledge in reducing shoulder luxations help me check that I now understand this correctly and next time would be reducing in EXTENSION, irrespective of whether was lateral or medial luxation?

Many thanks!
