Biological press-fit PGR- Patellar dislocation in Maltese dog

Species: Maltese dog

Nickname: Egg Tart

Age: 1 year

Gender: Female

Weight: 3 Kg

Due to patellar dislocation and grade 3 internal dislocation of both patellae, a bilateral trochlear groove replacement + tibial tuberosity repositioning surgery was decided for treatment. During the operation, the BlueSAO biological PGR System #1 implant was used for replacement. The surgery was successfully completed. Hope a speedy recovery!

Thanks to Dr.Guan Narisufrom Shanghai Shengtai Pet Hospital, for sharing the clinical case of the BlueSAO biological press-fit PGR system!

The PGR surgery will bring a painless joint to patients with patellar dislocation.

Doctor Jia Xinsheng's view is that the PGR surgery will bring a painless joint to patients with patellar dislocation, and he suggests that the PGR surgery be adopted for eligible cases of patellar dislocation. For instance, cases where the patella flat, deformed, underdeveloped, too narrow, or where the veterinarian's assessment of the deepening of the patella groove fails to yield effective results, etc., all recommend the use of patella groove replacement surgery (PGR).
