Surgical Correction of Patellar Luxation in a Rabbit
Figure 1
(a) Mediolateral view of the right stifle joint. Osteophytes (solid arrows) present on the trochlear ridge, femoral condyles, and tibial plateau and enthesophytes (dashed arrows) present on the fabellae and poles of the patella are likely secondary to medial patellar luxation. (b) Craniocaudal radiographic view of the right stifle, again demonstrating osteophytosis of the femoral condyles and tibial plateau (solid arrows), and enthesophytosis of the fabellae and patella (dashed arrows), along with medial patellar luxation.
