Dr. Canapp received extensive training in arthroscopy during his residency at the University of Florida and is currently performing arthroscopic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the shoulder, elbow, stifle, and hock.  Diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopic procedures in the shoulder include:

- Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD)

- Bicipital tenosynovitis

- Glenoid fractures

- Joint laxiety (glenoid humeral ligament tears)

Arthroscopic procedures of the elbow include: 
- OCD

- Fragmented medial coronoid process

- An ununited anconeal process

- Debridement of chronic osteoarthritic changes

Arthroscopy of the stifle includes:  
- OCD

- Diagnosing partial cranial cruciate ligament ruptures

- Debriding meniscal tears

- Ruptured cruciate ligament remnants prior to an extracapsular stabilization

- The tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO)

Arthroscopy of the hock is limited to the diagnosis and treatment of OCD.

Pets are typically hospitalized for one day following surgery.  Post-op care includes physical therapy, treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for two (2) weeks and joint protective agents such as, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for life.
