Medical notes
Surgical stabilization of Right Medial Luxating Patella (Tibial Crest Transposition)
Arthur was examined and found to have a grade 2-3 medial luxating patella on his right hind leg. This means that the right patella could easily luxate out of its normal position. This can be painful/uncomfortable and increases the risk of developing arthritis in the affected joint early in life. Surgery was performed to stabilize the right
patella and Arthur had an 8 week recovery period in foster care and has recovered well. He has also had a course of cartrophen injections to help improve his overall joint health.
There is still a predisposition for cats like Arthur to develop arthritis in the future. Hence, it is important that its weight be well controlled, so as not to become an overweight cat. Arthritis management may need to be considered in the future. For
example-use of joint supplements/diets, arthritis injection courses, pain relief medications etc.
