Patella Luxation Surgery: Restoring Comfort and Mobility for Your Pet

Patella luxation, also known as kneecap dislocation, is a common condition in pets, especially in small breeds. This condition occurs when the patella (kneecap) dislocates from its normal position, causing pain, lameness, and difficulty moving. Fortunately, Patella Luxation Surgery can help restore your pet’s comfort and mobility.

At Vet Lounge, we specialize in advanced surgical solutions for pets with patella luxation, ensuring the best possible outcome for your furry friend.

What is Patella Luxation?

Patella luxation occurs when the patella moves out of its groove, either partially or fully, and can cause intermittent or persistent lameness. In severe cases, it may affect the pet’s ability to walk properly. This condition can result from trauma, genetics, or developmental abnormalities and often requires surgical intervention to prevent further damage.

Symptoms of Patella Luxation

Signs that your pet may be suffering from patella luxation include:

Lameness or limping

Difficulty standing or walking

Skipping or "hopping" when walking

Pain when the knee joint is manipulated

If you notice any of these symptoms in your pet, it’s important to seek veterinary advice for diagnosis and treatment.
