Abstract:
Patellar luxation and associated pelvic limb lameness were treated with polyethylene sulcal ridge augmentation prostheses in four cats. In all cases, the lameness resolved within weeks of a single surgery. No important complications were encountered. On radiographs obtained at least 2 years postoperatively, three cases showed radiographic progression of degenerative joint disease, and one showed evidence of screw loosening, but these were not reflected in apparent lameness and no case required revision.
