Medial patella luxation is a condition resulting from congenital bone deformities that in the long term may result in rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament. These orthopedic ailments are responsible for much of the pelvic limb claudication in dogs and degenerative joint disease. Claudication and joint pain are the main clinical manifestations, and the diagnosis is confirmed by orthopedic examination for both conditions. The simultaneous treatment of these diseases is a challenge for the surgeon. This study reports on the association of trochlear sulcus replacement with prosthesis with modified plateau leveling osteotomy for simultaneous treatment of grade III medial patellar dislocation and cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs.
