Clinically normal cats have some degree of laxity in the stifle joint, with subluxation of the patella considered to be a common finding in healthy cats. 1 In contrast, patellar luxation has been reported infrequently in cats. 1–11 In cats with
azaperone (2 mg/kg [0.9 mg/lb], IM). A closed lateral luxation of the right shoulder joint was diagnosed: the humeral head was located lateral and slightly cranial to the scapula ( Figure 1 ). No other remarkable radiographic findings were present. Flunixin
sacroiliac luxation, and 90% have pelvic floor fractures. 1 The combination of unilateral or bilateral sacroiliac luxation and pelvic floor fractures is seen in 22% of cats with pelvic trauma. 1,3 Up to 74% of cats with pelvic fractures have concurrent soft
Partial or complete luxation of the SHJ is an infrequent cause of lameness in large animal species 1 (eg, cattle, goats, Himalayan tahr, horses, potbellied pigs, reindeer, sheep, and white-tailed deer) that can be associated with concomitant
ventral aspect of the vertebral canal on the left-ventral right-dorsal oblique. Final diagnosis is a suspected acute, traumatic atlanto-occipital (AO) luxation. Figure 2 Same images as in Figure 1 . DV—Moderate soft tissue opaque swelling of the
M edial patella luxation (MPL) is common in young, small-breed dogs. A luxating patella can occur due to congenital, developmental, or traumatic causes. It is most commonly a developmental disease that occurs when dogs are born with an anatomic
Parson Russell Terriers in the American Kennel Club registry). Jack Russell Terriers are also prone to lens luxation, which may influence a particular dog's potential risk for complications associated with cataract treatment. 13 Displacement of a lens
Introduction Patellar luxation is a commonly diagnosed orthopedic condition in dogs. 1 Dogs can present with varying signs ranging from mild instability of the patella within the trochlear groove with no clinical signs to constant luxation
an attempt was made to keep the patella reduced during preoperative radiographic TPA measurement. Patellar luxation during radiograph acquisition could potentially lead to inaccurate TPA measurements. To the authors' knowledge, the effect of
Luxation of the hip joint is common in dogs, comprising up to 90% of all luxations. 1–12 Closed reduction is typically the first line of treatment for dogs with hip joint luxation but may be unsuccessful because of intra-articular fractures
