Luxating Patella Repair
« Return to Surgical Services
A luxating patella is a condition when the patella, or knee cap, dislocates or moves out of its normal location. Patellar luxation is a common condition in dogs, particularly small breed dogs. This condition is often identified in dogs at a younger age. Most cases of patellar luxation do not need surgical repair, but in severe cases or chronic painful cases surgery can offer immediate and effective relief for your pet.
At Kenwood Pet Clinic we pride ourselves in providing high quality care tailored specifically to getting your dog back on its feet. Drs Turino and Prochaska have a combined 40 years surgical experience in providing orthopedic solutions for the knee. We perform patellar surgery often and we are capable of handling dogs large and small.
Please don't hesitate to call to schedule an appointment to have us look at your dog and we can discuss both surgical and non-surgical options, as well as recovery and pain control. We love meeting new clients and their pets.
