Patella Luxation Surgery: Restore Comfort and Mobility for Your Pet

Patella luxation, or dislocated kneecap, is a common orthopedic issue in dogs, often causing discomfort, pain, and mobility problems. If your pet is suffering from this condition, Patella Luxation Surgery at Vet Lounge offers a reliable solution to help your furry friend regain normal movement and live a pain-free life.

What is Patella Luxation?

Patella luxation occurs when the patella (kneecap) moves out of its normal position in the femoral groove, disrupting the natural function of the knee joint. This condition can result in lameness, discomfort, and joint instability, leading to difficulty walking, jumping, or even running.

Why Surgery is Needed?

While mild cases of patella luxation can often be managed with conservative treatments such as medication or physical therapy, more severe cases require surgical intervention. Surgery aims to realign the kneecap and stabilize the knee joint to prevent further luxation and alleviate pain, providing long-term relief for your pet.

Benefits of Patella Luxation Surgery

Pain Relief: The primary goal of the surgery is to reduce pain and discomfort caused by the dislocated kneecap.

Improved Mobility: After surgery, your pet can regain full mobility, improving their quality of life and allowing them to return to their normal activities.

Long-Term Solution: Surgery can help prevent further complications and reduce the risk of arthritis or joint degeneration in the future.

The Surgery Process

At Vet Lounge, our experienced veterinary surgeons perform advanced patella luxation surgery with care and precision. The procedure typically involves realigning the patella and reinforcing the joint with specialized surgical techniques. Post-operative care, including rest and rehabilitation, is crucial for a successful recovery.

Post-Surgery Care

After surgery, your pet will need proper rest and limited activity during the healing process. Our team will guide you through the post-operative care routine to ensure your pet’s recovery is smooth and effective.
