Surgery Overview

Luxating patella surgery at Lee Animal Hospital is a specialized procedure designed to correct a dislocated kneecap in pets, most commonly affecting small-breed dogs. This surgery helps restore proper joint function, alleviate pain, and prevent long-term complications such as arthritis. At Lee Animal Hospital, our experienced veterinary team uses advanced surgical techniques to stabilize the patella and ensure a smoother recovery. We provide comprehensive pre-surgical evaluations, personalized post-operative care plans, and ongoing support to help your pet regain mobility and comfort. If your pet is experiencing symptoms of a luxating patella, contact us to discuss treatment options and schedule a consultation. Say hello to Indiana, a brave Boston Terrier who had been struggling with mobility issues, including difficulty walking, limping, and stiffness. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Lee performed Bilateral MPL correction surgery on 3/15 to address the problem and help Indiana regain his comfort and mobility. We’re confident that with time and care, Indiana will be back to his energetic self! Wishing him a smooth and speedy recovery.
