Congenital Unilateral Lateral Patellar Luxation in A Lamb

Abstract: In this case, the clinical and radiographic findings of a lamb with congenital and unilateral patellar luxation, togetherwith its surgical treatment, are presented. A 15-day-old lamb was presented with complaints of weakness and lameness inthe right hind leg. The radiographic and orthopaedic examination revealed a unilateral 3rd degree patella luxation. The patellawas repositioned by performing medial imbrication and lateral release procedures. Following the surgery, the leg was fixedwith a bandage for 10 days. Five weeks after the operation, the animal was able to use its feet normally. In conclusion, lateralrelease and medial imbrication may be sufficient for the treatment of lateral patellar luxation in l: In this case, the clinical and radiographic findings of a lamb with congenital and unilateral patellar luxation, togetherwith its surgical treatment, are presented.
