Workshop Description

Medial patellar luxation (MPL) is a common orthopedic problem in dogs and cats. Successful treatment of these conditions requires accurate diagnosis and assessment. This course will provide up-to-date information on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of patellar luxation.


Lectures and labs will emphasize techniques that can readily be performed in practice. The course includes surgical treatment of MPL using 3 different types of trochleoplasty, tibial tuberosity transposition, soft tissue balancing techniques and a discussion on when corrective osteotomy may be needed. Participants will also learn how to treat CrCL in patients having concomitant MPL using a novel extracapsular ligament system. Following lecture and case review, participants will perform all these different techniques on cadavers and plastic bone models. 

Workshop Objectives

  • Understand the mechanism of patellar luxation
  • Learn diagnostic techniques to make surgical decisions and plan
  • Learn basic surgical techniques for uncomplicated MPL be deepening the trochlear groove and aligning the quadriceps mechanism using a tibial tuberosity transposition
