Abstract
A strain injury to the infraspinatus muscle was a potential cause of f orelimb lameness in a dog. Ultrasonography was used for evaluation of infraspinatus muscle injury. The ultrasonographic appearance of a typi cal infraspinatus muscle, contracture of an infraspinatus muscle, acut e strain of an infraspinatus muscle, and progression of healing of the infraspinatus muscle are described.
