AbstractMilitary working dog handlers and their canine partners continue to be invaluable team members on missions of national importance, but little information exists in the medical literature regarding specific musculoskeletal injuries to military working dog handlers. We report a case of a dog handler with overuse shoulder traction injuries due to leash lunges from their dog in an effort to provide diagnostic insight and treatment options and look at prevention of common musculoskeletal manifestations of overuse in working dog handlers.Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2021.
