Lateral luxation of the patella has been described in horses and ponies. Medial luxation has been reported only twice. Upward fixation of the patella is not true luxation. This report concerns two cases of lateral luxation of the patella related to hypoplasia of the lateral ridge of the trochlea of the femur.

Case Description- Two foals were referred for lameness evaluation. Case 1 was an 8-month-old male KWPN foal and the second one was a 2-day-old female Arabian foal. Clinical Findings- The KWPN foal was presented with severe lameness at walk and the second foal was unable to stand. In both patients luxation of the patella was confirmed on physical and radiological examinations. Treatment and Outc...

Spontaneous forward luxation at the atlanto-axial level is a well-known and common complication of rheumatoid arthritis. The distance between the articular surface of the odontoid process of the axis and the corresponding articular surface of the atlas should not normally exceed 3 mm. in adults; a larger distance indicates luxation. Conlon, Isdale. and Rose (1966) found luxation between atlas a...

Medial patellar luxation is defined as medial displacement of the patella from the trochlear groove. In dogs, medial luxations account for 75% of all patellar luxation cases, and are frequently associated with patella alta. Common surgical treatments for medial luxation are trochleoplasty and lateral transposition of the crest to drive the patella into the correct anatomical alignment. Postoper...

Luxation erecta is a rare form of shoulder dislocation, bilateral inferior dislocation very and few cases have been published in the literature. We present case male, fell down ladder, presented with luxation treated close reduction, immobilisation rehabilitation.

L'association luxation gléno humérale et disjonction acromio claviculaire est exceptionnelle. Rares cas sont décrits dans la littérature. Elles sont dues à une chute sur le moignon de l'épaule entrainant des lésions des moyens d'instabilités gléno humérales et aussi des lésions des ligaments conoïde et trapézoïde de l'articulation acromio claviculaire. Le diagnostic est clinique avec une déform...

Il s'agit d'un enfant de 5ans, sans antécédent pathologique notable, victime d'une chute de sa hauteur à la cour de l’école, occasionnant chez lui une douleur et une impotence fonctionnelles totales du membre inférieur gauche. L'examen clinique trouve un membre inférieur raccourci en adduction et rotation interne. Le bilan radiologique montre une luxation postérieure pure de la hanche sans lési...

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...

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...
