The patella or kneecap is a small bone that sits within the quadriceps tendon at the front of the stifle (knee) joint.

Patella luxation, or dislocation, is when the patella moves out of its normal groove on the femur and pops to the side. This can happen either to the inside (medial) or outside (lateral) side of the leg. This results in abnormal stifle function, pain and lameness.

Corrective surgeries include soft tissue release and tightening, trochleaplasty (groove deepening), tibial tuberosity transposition, distal femoral osteotomy and patella groove replacement. Affected animals may need a combination of these procedures to prevent the patella from dislocating.

If you have a patient, or pet, that is affected by patella luxation please get in touch to see if we can help.

Arthrodesis is the surgical immobilisation of a joint by fusion of the bones either side.

This is most commonly indicated for treatment of chronic joint instability or unmanageable pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis. It can also be used when a joint has not formed properly or when a fracture in a bone is too close to the joint to allow repair.

If you have a patient, or pet, affected by chronic joint instability or pain please get in touch to see if we can help.
