Abstract

Three small-breed dogs with grade IV medial patellar luxation were presented. In all cases, patellar luxation could not be reduced by conventional surgical techniques. Femoral shortening osteotomy was performed in all dogs to correct patellar luxation. In all the dogs, the clinical condition was remarkably improved, and following surgical procedures, no complication or recurrence was presented. Femoral shortening osteotomy is an effective treatment in small-breed dogs with medial patellar luxation associated with severe skeletal deformity.

세 마리의 소형견이 4단계의 내측 슬개골 탈구로 내원하였다. 세 마리 모두에서 일반적인 기존 수술 방법으로는 슬개골 탈구가 환납되지 않았다. 따라서 슬개골 탈구를 교정하기 위해 대퇴 단축 절골술이 실시되었다. 수술 후에 세 마리 모두 임상 증상이 개선되었고 합병증이나 재발은 확인되지 않았다. 대퇴 단축 절골술은 심한 골격 기형과 관련된 내측 슬개골 탈구가 있는 소형견에서 효과적인 치료 방법으로 고려될 수 있다.
