Best video on TH-cam showing the Petlla Luxation on dogs!

One of our boys is having his first MPL surgery next week. Our vet sent this video, and it is very helpful in understanding the surgery. Thank you!

Nice explanation

Very clear and informative, thank you!

Super useful informative stuff. Thank you.

So clear. thank you for making this video.

A vet recommended a surgery by physically checking my one year old Pomeranian during first year vaccinations visit..But he doesn’t show any discomfort at all,He runs normal,plays normal and jump too..I am kind of reluctant to do a surgery to a dog doesn’t show any symptoms at all…what is your advice on this??

This is a fantastic video. I have a friend w a 10 yr old corgi Australian Shephard mix and his front legs bend sideways. He's obviously in a ton of pain. (ex massage therapist here). He's constantly licking his legs. He limps sometimes but it's all his legs so he can't favor one and they're short little legs. I fear it's too late already and he's too old for a bunch of surgeries nor can the expense be justified. (prob wouldn't work anyways at this point) I don't know. Maybe you have some insight I don't. He doesn't like doctors but I told him he's gonna have to take him to the doctor to get him put down so either way it's the doctor or a bullet to the brain but u don't own a gun so... What happens if u just let this play out? The dog stops walking and just poops all over themselves? I take him to the ocean and let him stand in the surf. He seems to love the cold water. I tried to tell his owner that throwing a stick for him is the worst because he's running, changing direction and stopping suddenly. He just wants to believe the best all the time. I'm a realist. One thing he says all the time is that he was just born that way. That his legs have always bend that far sideways. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that it doesn't matter. It's an unstable joint. Then I watched some videos of an orthopedic vet explain that they can tell really early in life if the animal has this condition. Like the groove holding the ligament isn't deep enough or the bend of the leg is wrong.

Thank you for posting

My 2-year-old mini poodle has been diagnosed with grade 4 patellar luxation. The vet said there is no guarantee that the problem can be fixed after surgery and that the patella might dislocate again given her severe condition. I'm so shocked to hear this. She looks absolutely normal, with only 15% of the time limping. She keeps chasing birds and squirrels every day! Should I still proceed with the surgery for my girl?

Thank you very much for this great visual explanation

It’s such a great video Thank you

That was the BEST layman’s explanation and demonstration I have seen. Thank you so much!

My dog just had this surgery last week. Thank you for this great informative video!

fantastic. thank you.

Great video! One tip: The portion you pointed out and referred to as the patellar tendon is actually called the patellar ligament. Ligaments connect bones and tendons connect muscles to bones. So the patellar tendon is the portion proximal to the patella that connects it to the quads and the patellar ligament connects the patella to the tibial tuberosity.

Great video. Me and my dog are both screwed now… she’s too old for surgery 😭😭😭😭😭

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you. Excellent information 👍

As a Vet student and an aspiring surgeon, this hit home...thank u so much.

Hands down best video for explaining surgery for MLP! Thanks I am a visual learner so this was great 👍🏼

my dog had a tta surgery 13 weeks ago and now his patella is luxating. is this common or a hard fix?

This video is wonderful, the explanation 10/10. Just one question, is the patellar luxation that you show to some grade?

from Pakistan. Excellent job. waiting for more content from your side.

great video

Can a small chihuahua with Medial Luxating Patella and bowed femurs in both knees get the surgery on both knees at the same time?

Thank you for this. Was difficult for me to understand my vet's explanation of how they'd perform surgery on my cat. I'm watching this post-surgery and it makes a lot more sense.

Vets should be recommending this video to owners. The visual comparison, silhouette graphic and explanation of surgery techniques is invaluable. I hope you’ve been able to get this model into the hands of vet colleges. Outstanding work!

Please make some more of such good videos

Is patellar luxation defined as genetic, traumatic or combined issue for dogs? Secondary how much is this injury more related to dog breeds and their genetic? Thirdly as you mentioned bone misalignment as a reason for the patella luxation, what might be the degrading reason of that, is it nutrition, movement, unnatural diet etc? I could go further, maybe there is a question material for another video, for explaining the nature of this issue.

My dog has been lifting her leg and limping for the past couple of days I’m not sure what it is and I’m not sure if it’ll go away. I’m probably going to check it out tomorrow. I’ve done some research and I think it’s around her tibia in her leg I don’t know if this is close to what that is but I can’t find what’s wrong

amazing.

Very thank you 고마워요

Hello. My dog went through this surgery, but his knee cap/patella keeps luxating. It's been 2 months since the surgery. When he walk slow, it's pretty evident how the patella keeps going out of place and snapping back to place almost in every flexion of the knee, when he jogs, it looks a bit more stable. Apart from that he has hyperlexia, just in case it needs to be considered. Is it possible that after a successful surgery, the problem persists? Or if the patella keeps luxating, it means that the surgery didn't go very well? I know it's a hard question over TH-cam, I just want some guidance, I'm getting desperate for the sake of my dog. Thank you.

Awesome video! Thank you for creating this model to demonstrate the problem and solution.

This is awesome! When is your next video probably going to be?

Thankyou 🙏

Awesome video. Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much for this video! I'm writing a thesis on this subject and am using my dog as a case study and this video has really helped me visualise it! Much better than the surgeon's explanations! :D

Thankyou ! My little boy is having surgey in 2 days and I wanted to better understand!

Thank you it's perfect

Great video, guys!

very helpful 👌 we want more please

Great video. Thank you.

Are there any ligaments holding the patella in place laterally?

A Good explanation

After my dogs tplo surgery on her follow up visit the vet said she had a pivot shift in her knee. He hopes it will stop with exercise because the muscle has atrophied. It would be amazing if you could make a follow up video about it. I can’t seem to get much out of a google search, I just keep getting medical papers that are to hard for me to understand.

thank you so much 🌿 ❤

Fantastic video!!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much. Thank you for your hard work.

Waoo.. This is amazing, just witnessed the surgery for the first time and it make more sense now.. thanks for your explanation
