A patellar luxation and concomitant cranial cruciate ligament rupture is a common pathology in dogs. Diagnosis based on clinical evidence of stifle joint instability. However, diagnostic imaging required to assess the number skeletal deformities signs Surgical options include both soft tissue osseous techniques, although, most cases, combination multiple procedures necessary correct restore sta...

INTRODUCTION Cartilage lesion with patellar malalignment may be correlated with pain. Situations in which patients with recurrent patellar dislocation are painless between episodes of luxation can be approached with considerable curiosity. We evaluated the distribution of substance-P and S-100 protein expression in soft tissue of the knee in children with recurrent patellar dislocation, in orde...

Abstract Objective To assess the role of proximodistal and caudocranial relative position patellar ligament insertion on tibia length‐to‐patellar length ratio (PLL:PL) in small‐breed dogs with without grade II medial luxation (MPL). Study Design Retrospective study. Sample Population Dogs weighing ≤15 kg, including 43 stifles MPL 34 control stifles. Methods The was determined as a using vertica...

In this case report, the surgical treatment of a calf with congenital, unilateral lateral patellar luxation clinical, radiography, and computed tomography findings is presented. A 5-day-old was referred due to an extremely flexed knee joint hindlimb weakness. Radiographic, tomographic, orthopedic examination demonstrated grade 3 normal stifle bone anatomy. Surgery includes release medial imbric...

OBJECTIVE To further define vertical patellar position, as measured by the ratio of patellar ligament length to patellar length (L:P), in large-breed dogs with clinically normal stifles and compare that to the L:P of large-breed dogs with medial patellar luxation (MPL). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SAMPLE POPULATION Large-breed dogs (n = 50) with clinically normal stifle joints and 30 ...
