Radiographs obtained preoperatively and during 8-week follow-up examinations were reviewed and assigned degenerative joint disease (DJD) scores (range, 0 to 3). Data were analyzed to determine factors influencing outcomes. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed for recurrence of MPL.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014Minor postoperative complications were reported for 31 of 91 (34.1%) dogs. Patellar reluxation occurred in 18 of 91 (19.8%) dogs. Reluxation or complications for which additional surgery was recommended developed in 6 of 91 (6.6%) dogs. At last clinical follow-up, 10 of 91 (11.0%) dogs had at least occasional lameness. No difference was revealed between preoperative and postoperative (8-week follow-up) radiographic DJD scores.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results of surgical treatment of MPL without femoral trochlear groove deepening procedures were comparable to those in studies of surgical treatment that included groove deepening procedures. Radiographic indices of DJD did not increase during the 8 weeks following surgery. These results suggest that trochlear groove deepening procedures are not always necessary, and patients that undergo these techniques should be carefully selected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.238.9.1168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,1]],"date-time":"2011-05-01T07:08:57Z","timestamp":1304233737000},"page":"1168-1172","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Surgical treatment of medial patellar luxation without femoral trochlear groove deepening procedures in dogs: 91 cases (1998\u20132009)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"238","author":[{"given":"William R.","family":"Linney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas L.","family":"Hammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Shott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"59","article-title":"Surgical correction of stifle deformities in the dog","volume":"10","author":"Singleton","year":"1969"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"595","article-title":"Fascia lata overlap procedure for surgical correction of recurrent medial luxation of the patella in the dog","volume":"156","author":"Flo","year":"1970"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"587","article-title":"Evaluation of surgical correction of canine patellar luxation in 142 cases","volume":"156","author":"DeAngelis","year":"1970"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","first-page":"11","article-title":"The canine stifle joint II.
