CHRONDROPLASTRY OF PARAPATELLAR FIBROCARTILAGE CAPABLE OF PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS IN THE REPAIR OF CANINE PATELLAR LUXATION WITH AN ABRADED OR CONGENITALLY FLAT PATELLA

摘要

PURPOSE: Chrondroplastry of parapatellar fibrocartilage in the repair of canine patellar luxation with an abraded or congenitally flat patella is provided to enhance resistance to luxation, thereby preventing an increase in retropatellar pressure.;CONSTITUTION: (a) shows a shallow pulley groove before surgery. Flat patella is shown in the (a). (b) shows the pulley groove after an arthrotomy. (c) shows that parapatellar fibrocartilage touches the pulley groove. (d) shows that the patella is appropriately placed in the groove after chrondroplastry of the parapatellar fibrocartilage.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
