Surgical treatment of patellar luxation is more difficult in large breed dogs, especially when combined with cranial cruciate ligament disease, hip dysplasia or
excessive angulation of the long bones.

excessive angulation of the long bones or hip dysplasia.
We avoid the modern trend of
excessive angulation, roached backs, and extreme movement.
