Canine patellar luxation is seen in toy and miniature breeds, and in the majority of cases the problem is medial patellar luxation. When the luxation is left alone, it causes deformity and disorder in the growth of the affected limb. In severe cases, the limb may cease to afunction. Early surgical correction is therefore essential, but the owners are not able to detect the disorder at an early age and surgical intervention in most cases will take place after 6 months of age. The authors were able to have the opportunity to operate at an earlier age by educating breeders and owners. Various techniques have been developed and implemented to correct this disorder with varying Therapeutic results. The authors have devised a unique surgical method which has been applied to the numerous cases with good results since 1985. The procedure is to make a longitudinal groove on the medial cortical bone of the tibial tuberosity along the tibial crest, and to place small pieces of artificial ceramic bone or autoplastic bone grafts in the groove, thus laterally transposing the tibial tuberosity and crest. This method makes it possible to put the quadriceps muscles of the thigh, the patella and the patellar ligament in the correct alignment over the femoral trochlea. It is considered appropriate to conduct this operation at 1.0-3.0 months of age when the dog has matured enough to be able to withstand anesthesia and surgical stress.
