Data, including MPL and lameness grades, implant use, complications and concurrent surgical procedures, were recorded. Radiographic review was performed. A client survey gathered data on clinical signs, perceived disability and recovery time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Medial patellar luxation was eliminated clinically in 24\/25 limbs and radiographically in 24\/25 limbs. No intraoperative complications occurred, and there was no evidence of implant movement, failure or infection. One dog with clinical and radiographic evidence of grade 4\/4 MPL preoperatively subsequently experienced recurrent luxation. Owners perceived postoperative improvement in 10\/14, worsening in 2\/14 and no change in 2\/14. Stifle effusion and osteoarthritis, particularly at the trochlear ridges and patella, were common in preoperative radiographs. Proximal patellar ligament thickening and stifle effusion were common in follow-up radiographs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The RidgeStop implant prevented MPL in most patients with a low complication rate. Recurrent luxation was an uncommon complication and may be associated with a higher preoperative grade. Proximal patellar ligament thickening and stifle effusion were common short-to-medium term radiographic findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2933-1230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T23:11:53Z","timestamp":1786749113000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Trochlear Ridge Prosthetic Replacement Surgery in 20 Dogs with Medial Patellar Luxation: Clinical and Radiographic Findings"],"prefix":"10.1055","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0767-3497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isobel Rose","family":"MacEwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Specialists Aotearoa Limited, Auckland, New Zealand","place":["Auckland"],"department":["Department of Diagnostic Imaging"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elyshia Jay","family":"Hankin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Friendship Hospital for Animals, District of Columbia, United States","place":["Washington"],"department":["Department of Diagnostic Imaging"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura Anne","family":"Barbur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BluePearl Pet Hospital Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States","place":["Philadelphia"],"department":["Surgical Department"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"23","article-title":"Patellar luxation in dogs","volume":"9","author":"F Di Dona","year":"2018","journal-title":"Vet Med (Auckl)"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1616589","article-title":"Frequency and distribution of patellar luxation in dogs. 134 cases (2000 to 2005)","volume":"20","author":"M R Alam","year":"2007","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-08-01-0009","article-title":"The prevalence of canine patellar luxation in three centres.
