Suprapubic Luxation of the Femur

Luxation of the eyeball.

Luxation of the eyeball in two African patients is reported for its rarity. It followed minor trauma to the face and was reduced in both cases without permanent visual disability.

Patellar Luxation

Patella luxations occur frequently in dogs (primarily medial (MPL) [1]) and less commonly in cats [2]. It is normally seen in small breed dogs but is becoming more common in dogs such as the Labrador retriever. It can be unilateral or bilateral (50-65%) of cases. Both conservative and surgical methods are used for correction of patella luxation and this decision-making usually depends on the se...

[Solitary proximal end of femur osteochondroma. An indication and result of the en bloc resection without hip luxation].

OBJECTIVE To review the indication of surgical treatment of solitary proximal end of femur osteochondromas, and present our experience as regards the approach for a complete and safe resection. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective study of a series of 6 symptomatic solitary proximal end of femur osteochondromas treated by en bloc resection by means of a single anterior or posterior-lateral app...

Evaluation of bone deformities of the femur, tibia, and patella in Toy Poodles with medial patellar luxation using computed tomography.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate morphological parameters of the femur, tibia, and patella in Toy Poodles with medial patellar luxation (MPL) using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) and to compare these parameters between radiography and CT. METHODS Thirty-five hindlimbs of Toy Poodles were divided into normal and grade 2 and 4 MPL groups. The anatomical and mechanical lateral proximal fe...
