OBJECTIVE To measure the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) in dogs with congenital patellar luxation using magnetic resonance (MR) methods. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS Thirty-eight client-owned dogs.

From a dental viewpoint, incisor-luxation fractures in horses are fraught with complexities. Luxation fractures are defined as the dislocation of a tooth out of its alveolus without being totally avulsed from the mouth. These are dental emergencies with far-reaching implications. The periodontal and endodontic survival of the involved teeth depends on how these cases are handled. Owners should ...

Luxation of the eye globe is a rare event but it carries a risk of threat to permanent vision loss if appropriate intervention is not initiated on time. Although a rare presentation following minor trauma, it is usually associated with other ocular conditions like shallow orbital socket, floppy eyelid syndrome, and exophthalmos. Prompt reduction results in restoration of full anatomical and vis...

: Intrusion is the most severe luxation injury, resulting in soft and hard tissue damage. Treatment depends on root development stage tooth intrusion degree. Lateral describes displacement any direction other than axial. The prognosis of luxated teeth emergency treatment elapsed time. This paper reports an 11-year-old boy who sustained central lateral incisors into nasal cavity, his left canine...

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 ...

Avulsion and intrusive luxation are two severe and complicated types of dental trauma. Combination of these two types of injury is rare in the literature because they vary in terms of underlying mechanism of occurrence. This case report describes the management of an unusual traumatic injury of two permanent maxillary central incisors with avulsion and intrusive luxation concomitantly. The pati...
