Knee Cap Dislocation Surgery for Pets in Lexington, KY
Knee cap dislocation, also known as patellar luxation, is a common orthopedic condition in pets that can cause discomfort, limping, and difficulty walking. At Green Tree Animal Hospital in Lexington, KY, we offer knee cap dislocation surgery to help restore joint stability and improve mobility for affected pets.
Patellar luxation occurs when the knee cap moves out of its normal position, leading to pain and joint instability. Surgical correction realigns the knee cap and secures it in place, preventing future dislocations and reducing the risk of arthritis. This procedure is especially beneficial for small-breed dogs, but it can also affect larger breeds and cats.
Post-surgical care is essential for a full recovery. Our team provides detailed rehabilitation plans, including rest, controlled exercise, and physical therapy to ensure your pet regains strength and mobility safely. Most pets experience significant improvement in comfort and activity levels after recovery.
