Abstract
Three small-breed dogs with grade IV medial patellar luxation were presented. In all cases, patellar luxation could not be reduced by conventional surgical techniques. Femoral shortening osteotomy was performed in all dogs to correct patellar luxation. In all the dogs, the clinical condition was remarkably improved, and following surgical procedures, no complication or recurrence was presented. Femoral shortening osteotomy is an effective treatment in small-breed dogs with medial patellar luxation associated with severe skeletal deformity.
