Arthroscopic release of the medial femoropatellar ligament for canine medial patellar luxation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Five dogs of varying breeds and ages were presented for evaluation of medial patellar luxation that was unresponsive to conservative treatment. Arthroscopy of each affected stifle was performed, and adequacy of the femoral trochlea and patellar tracking in the trochlea were assessed. Medial femoropatellar ligament release was then performed using a bipolar radiofrequency electrosurgical system with or without a tibial tuberosity transposition. The procedure resulted in good to excellent outcomes for four dogs and a fair outcome for a fifth dog.

Correction of patellar luxation by recession sulcoplasty in three foals.
Lateral luxation of the patella in four femoropatellar joints of three foals was repaired by recession sulcoplasty and medial imbrication of the joint. One foal was euthanatized because of septic arthritis caused by incisional dehiscence, and the other two foals were normal 2 years after surgery. Recession sulcoplasty combined with medial imbrication of the joint capsule resulted in a functiona...
متن کاملManagement of medial patellar luxation in dogs: what you need to know
The patella is an ossification in the tendon of insertion of the quadriceps femoris muscle. It works along with the femoral trochlea as a pulley, redirecting the line of action of the quadriceps tendon. For the patella to be stable and to move in the most efficient direction, axial alignment of the extensor apparatus with the underlying skeletal elements is necessary. The extensor apparatus is ...
متن کاملProximo-distal patellar position in three small dog breeds with medial patellar luxation.
INTRODUCTION Medial patellar luxation is thought to be associated with a high proximal position of the patella in the trochlear groove. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the ratio of patellar ligament length and patellar length (L:P) is influenced by the stifle angle (75°, 96°, 113°, 130°, and 148°) in small dog breeds and to compare the L:P ratio in dogs of three small dog breeds with and witho...
متن کاملA low morbidity surgical approach to the sheep femoral trochlea
BACKGROUND The ovine stifle joint is an important location for investigations on the repair of articular cartilage defects in preclinical large animals. The classical medial parapatellar approach to the femoral trochlea is hazardous because of the high risk of postoperative patellar luxation. Here, we describe a low morbidity surgical exposure of the ovine trochlea without the necessity for int...
متن کاملLesions in canine stifle joints due to trochleoplasties as treatment for medial patellar luxation.
Lesions in canine stifle joints after previous trochleoplasty surgery were documented. In four clinical cases arthrotomies were performed due to stifle pain after previous trochlear deepening procedures. A small area of hyaline cartilage remained in the groove of the stifles in cases where previous wedge trochleoplasties had been performed. All of the stifles had significant areas of eburnation...
