Lateral patellar luxation in nine small breed dogs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this paper was to describe the clinical features, the management and the outcome of nine small breed dogs affected with lateral patella luxation referred during the period between January 2010 and December 2014. Patellar luxations were classified according to: breed, age, sex, weight, and grade of patellar luxation, as well as if unilateral or bilateral, and concurrent cranial cruciate ligament lesion. In affected dogs, surgical correction consisted in the combination of tibial tuberosity transposition and soft tissue procedure. Adjunctive condroplasty or trochleoplasty was performed as needing. The outcome was found positive after surgical management with low complication rate and complications have been easily managed with high success rate.

Today, the treatment of patellar luxations using current techniques has become a very common procedureas part of the surgical treatment. Nevertheless, there are some doubts about such procedures in restraining the patella in lower grade cases. The purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was to determine theefficacy of the soft tissue and bone reconstructive procedures used for vario...

Small breed dogs are 12 times more likely to develop medial patellar luxation (MPL) than large breed dogs and breed predisposition has been reported. Many surgical techniques are available for correction of patellar luxation in dogs. However, recent studies reported an 8% incidence of reluxation when traditional techniques are used. The relatively high frequency of major complications and patel...

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 ...

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...
