Highlights
The anatomical deformities that precede medial patellar luxation (MPL) are present in dogs at birth and are responsible for the presentation of clinical manifestations during the course of the animal's development
Limb elevation during gait and claudication are the main clinical manifestations of MPL, with claudication worsening as the resulting joint disease progresses or when the cranial cruciate ligament v.16, n.02, a1035, p.1-6, Fev., 2022 tears secondary to luxation, leading to an acute picture of the signs (DeCamp, 2015; Von Pfeil & DeCamp, 2009)
It is estimated that 15% to 20% of knees with MPL develop RLCCr (DeCamp, 2015; Von Pfeil & DeCamp, 2009), and this condition can be of traumatic or degenerative origin, resulting from bone deformities, increased tibial plateau angle (TPA) inclination, immune-mediated atropathies, aging, and obesity (Buquera et al, 2004)
Summary
The anatomical deformities that precede medial patellar luxation (MPL) are present in dogs at birth and are responsible for the presentation of clinical manifestations during the course of the animal's development. MPL diagnosis is based on clinical findings and the forms of treatment depend on the degree of luxation, bone deformities, and associated changes in the quadriceps muscle mechanism, which are found through imaging examinations. It is estimated that 15% to 20% of knees with MPL develop RLCCr (DeCamp, 2015; Von Pfeil & DeCamp, 2009), and this condition can be of traumatic or degenerative origin, resulting from bone deformities, increased tibial plateau angle (TPA) inclination, immune-mediated atropathies, aging, and obesity (Buquera et al, 2004). The tibial ostectomy was performed with a template, where the proximal tibial segment was rotated caudally to a 5° TPA and medially translated until the subjective adjustment of the alignment of the quadriceps mechanism and the center of the new trochlear groove. Radiographs at 30 and 60 days postoperatively showed satisfactory bone healing and no instability of the implants
