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.
In the pre-surgery X-ray, Joy’s patella (kneecap) is clearly displaced inward (blue circle). After surgery, it’s perfectly realigned in the center (white circle)—what an amazing transformation!
This successful patellar luxation surgery was performed on January 24, 2025, at Lee Animal Hospital. We’re committed to providing exceptional care with clear communication every step of the way.
