Luxating Patella Surgery for Dogs
If your dog suddenly skips on a rear leg, holds the leg up for several steps, or develops persistent knee pain, the kneecap may be slipping out of its normal groove. This condition is called patellar luxation, or a luxating patella.
REVIVE Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital provides advanced orthopedic evaluation and surgery to improve knee alignment, reduce instability, and help dogs move more comfortably.

Could Your Dog Have a Luxating Patella?
Signs vary with the severity of the condition. Some dogs show occasional symptoms, while others develop frequent lameness, pain, arthritis, or progressive limb changes.

How Luxating Patella Surgery Helps
The patella normally glides within a groove at the end of the femur. With patellar luxation, the kneecap moves to the inside or outside of that groove. The best surgical plan depends on the direction and severity of the luxation, limb alignment, age, size, and any related orthopedic conditions.
Treatment may combine several techniques. The surgeon may balance the soft tissues around the kneecap, deepen the femoral groove, reposition the attachment of the patellar tendon, or correct an abnormal angle in the femur or tibia. The goal is to improve alignment and help the kneecap remain in its normal position during movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your dog is skipping, limping, or has been diagnosed with a luxating patella, contact REVIVE to discuss orthopedic evaluation and treatment.
Call (972) 433-9990 →Does every luxating patella need surgery?
No. Dogs without symptoms may be monitored. Surgery is more commonly considered when luxation causes pain, frequent lameness, progressive instability, or changes in the bones and joints.
What is recovery like after patellar luxation surgery?
Recovery usually includes restricted activity followed by a gradual return to movement. Follow-up examinations and imaging may be recommended to evaluate healing and knee stability.
How much does luxating patella surgery cost?
Cost depends on the severity of the luxation, the procedures needed to correct it, diagnostic imaging, implants, anesthesia, and hospitalization. REVIVE will review a patient-specific estimate before treatment.
