Biomimetic PGR – Alaskan Malamute with Patellar Luxation – Dr. Li Zhenfu from Nanjing Laile Animal Hospital

Breed: Alaskan Malamute
Age: 1.8 years old
Sex: Male
Body weight: 38 kg

Lameness appeared six months ago, and patellar luxation was diagnosed. Recently, walking pain and reduced exercise with serious lameness were found.

Physical examination: grade 3 patellar luxation, left hind limb lameness. It was decided to perform left trochlear groove replacement surgical treatment. During the surgery, the BlueSAO Biomimetic Trochlear Groove Replacement System (PGR) #9 implantwas used for replacement. The surgery was successfully completed. Wish an early recovery!

Thanks to Dr. Li Zhenfu from Nanjing Laile Animal Hospital for bringing the clinical case sharing of the BlueSAO Biomimetic Trochlear Groove Replacement System!

No trochlear groove deepening technique can achieve a biomechanical match between the patella and trochlear groove. For prevention of recurrent canine patellar luxation, use BlueSAO Biomimetic PGR!

Dr. Jia Xinsheng’s view is: Trochlear groove replacement technology will bring a painless joint to patients with patellar luxation, and it is recommended that trochlear groove replacement technology be used for patellar luxation cases that meet the conditions. For example: flattened trochlear groove, deformity, poor development, overly narrow trochlear groove, and cases where veterinarians evaluate that trochlear groove deepening cannot achieve effective results are all recommended to use trochlear groove replacement.
