Description

In this episode of BoardsCast, we cover the multifactorial nature of patellar luxation — a deceptively simple diagnosis that demands geometric precision and a rebalancing of forces for successful correction.

We break down:

• The anatomic forces that push the patella medially or laterally
• How to assess limb alignment: femoral torsion, tibial rotation, trochlear depth
• Surgical options: tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT), trochleoplasty, wedge recession, imbrication
• Planning surgical intervention based on Q-angle, trochlear wear, and tibial alignment
• Postoperative pitfalls, complications, and board-style scenario reviews

Whether you’re facing a limping Yorkie or reviewing for your next board case, this episode puts all the pieces of patellar luxation surgery into a reliable, mechanics-first framework.
