Patella
luxation, or knee dislocation, can range in severity from a patella that can be luxated (dislocated) only in extreme extension and
then snaps readily into place, to a patella that is permanently luxated medially (toward the center of the dog's body).
However, if the patellar
luxation has persistent lameness, or other knee injuries occur secondary to the
luxation,
then surgery intervention needs to be evaluated.
