  • Luxating Patella
    LUXATING PATELLA What is a luxating patella? The patella, or kneecap, is normally located in the center of the knee joint. The term luxating means, “out of place” or “dislocated”. Therefore, a luxating patella is a kneecap that moves out of its normal location. What causes this? The muscles of the thigh attach to the top of the kneecap. There is a ligament, the patellar ligament, running from the bottom of the kneecap to a point on the tibia just below the knee joint. When the thigh muscles contract, force is transmitted through the patella and patellar ligament to a point on the top of the tibia. This results in extension or straightening of the knee. The patella stays in the center of the leg because the point of attachment of the patellar ligament is on the midline and because the patella slides in a groove on the lower end of the femur (the bone between the knee and the hip). The patella luxates because the point of attachment of the patellar ligament is not on the midline of the tibia. It is almost always located too far medial (toward the middle of the body). As the thigh muscles contract, the force is pulled medial. After several months or years of this abnormal movement, the inner side of the groove in the femur wears down. Once the side of the groove wears down, the patella is then free to dislocate. When this occurs, the dog has difficulty bearing weight on the leg. It may learn how to kick the leg and snap the patella back into its normal location.

Many surgical techniques are Small breed dogs. available for correction of patellar luxation in dogs. However, recent studies reported an 8% incidence of reluxation when traditional techniques are used. The relatively high frequency of major complications and patellar reluxation may be partially caused by inadequate appreciation of the underlying skeletal deformity and subsequent incorrect selection and application of traditional techniques. The aims of this study were to report the normal values of the anatomic and mechanical joint angles of the femur and tibia in small breed dogs and to compare these data to a population of small breed dogs affected by different degrees of MPL. Normal values of the anatomic and mechanical angles of the femur are similar to the ones reported in literature in Pomeranian dogs. Normal values of the anatomic and mechanical angles of the tibia have been described for the first time.

Most commonly the patella luxates medially but lateral luxation also occurs. It can occur in any size or breed of dog but is more common in small breed dogs. Cats have a broad and flat patella and the femoral trochlear sulcus is shallow; therefore the normal cat patella is much more mobile medial to lateral and relatively unstable compared to dogs. Patellar subluxation is common in cats but, clinically significant patellar luxation is uncommon. Patellar luxation is usually a diagnosis made from Grade 3: The patella is always luxated but the patient history and signalment, and by stifle can be returned to the normal position in the manipulation and palpation, rather than from trochlear sulcus by digital manipulation.

  • Alpaca Breed Standard
    British Alpaca Society - ALPACA BREED STANDARD Overview This breed standard has been developed to encourage the objective assessment of the form and function of the alpaca. It is intended as a guide for breeding selection, to promote the pursuit of the alpaca exhibiting high quality fleece traits on a correct frame. The ideal alpaca should not only be fit for function, but be seen as the embodiment of the very best conformational and fleece traits of the breed. An ideal alpaca is one that produces high quality fibre over a long, healthy and productive lifetime. Whilst the breed standard places traits into ‘ideal’ and ‘negative/undesirable traits’, most alpacas will fall somewhere between the two on the continuum of the different characteristics. However, the standard promotes the goal of reaching the ideal through selective breeding, resulting in genetic gain and phenotypical improvement. Consideration should be given to the longevity of the ideal traits and thus the commercial benefits that this brings. Note: Traits are not listed in any particular order - It is acknowledged that some traits, especially those of fleece, will continually improve over time and that this standard is not intended to be static, but to evolve alongside alpaca breeding in the UK. Ideal Negative/Undesirable traits Conformation Phenotype • Alpacas should have a balanced, • Obvious lack of balance proportioned frame, free moving, with a • Light substance of bone strong substance of bone and an alert • Narrow head stance • The head should be carried high Side Profile

  • Canine Patellar Luxation Part 2: Treatments and Outcomes
    Vet Times The website for the veterinary profession https://www.vettimes.co.uk Canine patellar luxation part 2: treatments and outcomes Author : Albane Fauron, Karen Perry Categories : Companion animal, Vets Date : April 18, 2016 ABSTRACT The most important decision in cases of canine patellar luxation is whether surgical stabilisation is required. Surgical treatment is generally not recommended for asymptomatic cases. For clinically affected cases, conservative management is unlikely to result in significant improvement and surgical therapy is indicated. Corrective surgical techniques focus on realignment of the quadriceps mechanism and stabilisation of the patella in the trochlea. Cases treated with tibial tuberosity transposition and femoral trochleoplasty have been associated with lower risks of patellar reluxation and major complications, and the use of these techniques should be considered in all developmental cases. In cases where significant skeletal deformities have been identified preoperatively, or in cases that fail to respond to conventional surgical techniques, more advanced imaging and surgery may be required. As discussed in part one (VT46.09), while patellar luxation (PL) is a common condition, not all cases require surgical intervention. Of those needing stabilisation, deciding which deformities require correction to achieve a comfortable and functional outcome is not always straightforward. Corrective surgical techniques used in the management of clinically affected cases focus on realignment of the quadriceps mechanism and stabilisation of the patella in the trochlea. The results of surgical correction vary with the severity of the anatomic abnormalities present, but if appropriate decision-making is employed, for the majority of cases, the outcome should be favourable. 1 / 12 Treatment Decision-making Figure 1.

  • Patella Luxation in Dogs and Cats
    Patella Luxation in Dogs and Cats The knee is a complex structure consisting of muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bones. These components must align properly and interact harmoniously in order to function properly. Three bones are included in the knee: the femur, the tibia, and the patella (kneecap). Normal Knee Joint of a Dog The patella or kneecap moves up and down in the lower part of the femur called the trochlear groove. In patella luxations, the trochlear groove is usually shallow, causing the kneecap to displace or luxate. Normal Knee Joint of a Dog Showing Muscles, Tendons and Ligaments Normal Exposed Knee Joint of a Dog Symptoms of Patella Luxation Patella luxation (dislocation) is a condition where the kneecap does not align properly with the femur and tibia. The condition can be temporary or permanent and range from complete dislocation to mild patellar instability. The dislocation can occur laterally (toward the outside of the knee joint), medially (toward the inside), or in both directions. There are 4 types of patella luxations. Grade 1 – The patella is positioned normally but can be luxated with slight manual pressure. Grade 2 – Spontaneous luxation occurs; however, it can reduce spontaneously or can be replaced manually. Grade 3 – The patella is luxated most of the time; however it can be replaced manually. Grade 4 – The patella cannot be reduced manually. Most commonly, the disease is a medial luxation and occurs as a result of a congenital (existing at birth) condition in toy and miniature breeds of dogs. Dog breeds most commonly affected by this condition are poodles, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese and bichon frise.

The patella, or "kneecap," is normally located in a groove on the end of the femur, or thigh bone. "Term luxating means 'out of place'." The term luxating means "out of place" or "dislocated". Therefore, a luxating patella is a kneecap that moves out of its normal location. It generally resumes its normal anatomical orientation after only a brief period of luxation in most dogs. What causes a patellar luxation? The large muscles of the thigh (quadriceps) attach to the top of the kneecap. A ligament, known as the patellar ligament, attaches the quadriceps muscle to a point on the center front of tibia (the bone in the lower leg) just below the knee joint. The kneecap sits on the undersurface of this ligament. When the thigh muscles contract, the force is transmitted through the patellar ligament, pulling on the tibia,. This results in extension or straightening of the knee. The patella slides up and down in its groove (the trochlear groove) and helps keep the patellar ligament in place during this movement. "Many toy or small breed dogs...have a genetic predisposition..." Many toy or small breed dogs, including Maltese, Yorkshire terriers, French poodles, and Bichon frise dogs, have a genetic predisposition for a luxating patella due to a congenitally shallow trochlear groove.

  • THE LUXATING PATELLA: One Size Does NOT Fit All
    THE LUXATING PATELLA: One size does NOT fit all Synopsis-- Anatomy and the Disease The quadriceps mechanism is the unit of interest when talking about a luxating patella. The condition is a dynamic one, created by predisposing genetics and the resultant development, or by a predisposing anatomy exacerbated by low impact trauma. The patella is supported or encouraged to ride in its groove by several structures. 1) The alignment of the quadriceps muscle/patellar tendon/patella/patellar ligament/tibial tubercle (quadriceps “mechanism”) with the groove; 2) medial and lateral retinacular/joint capsular tension; and 3) depth of groove—probably in that order of importance. IN BREEDS WITH PREDISPOSING GENETICS, we see either a) the mismatch of quadriceps mechanism growth/elongation with bone growth/elongation or b) a wayward tibial tubercle physis that “moves” medially or laterally as it develops as the developmental cause of this condition. When this abnormality is pronounced early in puppyhood, a patella that jumps its track even just a little promotes a vicious cycle of malalignment by the quadriceps mechanism pulling the tibial tubercle physis medially or laterally. In other breeds/mixed breeds, a subtle abnormal anatomy of the quadriceps mechanism can be suddenly turned into a painful luxation with vigorous play, turning, landing, and is best categorized as a catastrophic sprain. The resultant looseness is poorly contained conservatively, and repeated luxations perpetuate the tissue damage preventing healing. PAIN OR DISABILITY associated with a loose patella manifests from several situations. Ongoing pain and consistent lameness is seen when cartilage wear results in subchondral bone exposure, grinding and joint inflammation.

  • Tipler, a – Medial Patella Luxation Treatment
    Medial patella luxation treatment Dr Abbie Tipler ATCL BVSc MANZCVS (Surgery) Veterinary Specialist Services 1-15 Lexington Road, Underwood, QLD 4119 Aetiology For a patella to function correctly it needs a proper alignment to the quadriceps muscle group that meets and converges on the patella. With correct alignment, the patella sits in the trochlear groove and this groove develops normally over time. The entire mechanism from pelvis to quadriceps to patella to tibial tuberosity should sit in a relatively straight line. This mechanism is called the extensor apparatus and when aligned with the patella it works to effectively and painlessly extend the knee via contraction of the quadriceps. There can be several facts that can contribute to the abnormal development that is seen in dogs with medial patella luxation (MPL). Puppies are born with normal stifles, however medial malalignment of the quadriceps mechanism leads to abnormal forces on the growth plates during growth and conformational abnormalities result. The conformational abnormalities can typically involve varying degrees of torsion of the tibia with internal rotation, distal femoral varus, hypoplasia of the medial condyle, patella alta and underdevelopment of the trochlear groove. Signalment This is primarily a disease of small breeds such as Chihuahuas, Toy Poodles, Yorkies, Silky Terriers, Papillons and Pomeranians but is also seen in larger breeds such as Labradors, Staffordshires and Bull Terriers. Females tend to be over-represented and it is heritable. Around 50%-60% of the time it is bilateral. Around 80% of luxations are either a grade 2 or a grade 3. Around 10-40% of dogs have a concurrent cruciate ligament rupture.
