Congenital shoulder luxation in the dog is commonly associated with deformity of the humeral head and glenoid, making reduction and stabilization difficult. Early diagnosis of congenital luxation of the shoulder in a Papillon made it possible to successfully reduce and stabilize the luxation using a closed pinning technique. One year later the joint was functionally and radiographically normal.
