Abstract

Three Pomeranians with bilateral lateral patellar luxation (LPL) were present at the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University. Trochlear block recession was performed on all the dogs. The additional procedures including lateral retinacular desmotomy, tibial derotation, imbrication of medial retinaculum, and/or proximal tube realignment. Medial transposition of the tibial tuberosity was additionally done in one dog. Recurrent right LPL was found and corrected in one leg of the second dog. Following at least 3 months, all three dogs walked, jumped, and put weight normally on the operated legs after the operation.
