Medial Patella Luxation (MPL) is a common orthopedic condition in small dogs where the kneecap dislocates toward the inside of the leg. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we provide corrective MPL surgery to realign the knee and restore normal function.
Our evaluation includes radiographs and physical examination to assess joint structure, bone alignment, and cartilage condition. Depending on severity, surgery may involve deepening the trochlear groove, tightening soft tissues, and realigning the tibial crest.
Pain control and anesthesia are carefully managed throughout the procedure. After surgery, your pet’s leg is supported with bandaging or controlled movement restrictions.
Rehabilitation and follow-up exams are essential to track recovery and joint strength. Most pets regain full mobility within weeks and enjoy long-term comfort.
Animal Surgical Care of PA proudly performs MPL surgeries for pets across Pennsylvania, providing advanced orthopedic correction with compassionate care.
