Trochlear groove replacement surgery will bring a painless joint to patients with patellar luxation.

Dr.Jia xinsheng’s view is: Trochlear groove replacement surgery will bring a painless joint to patients with patellar luxation. It is recommended that trochlear groove replacement surgery be used for patellar luxation cases that meet the conditions. For example: trochlear groove flattening, deformity, poor development, and cases where excessive trochlear groove deepening by veterinarians cannot achieve effective results are all recommended to use trochlear groove replacement.

Pure titanium TPLO bone plates, titanium alloy screws, and professional tools create a unique TPLO system. Good bone plates, made by BlueSAO!
