A luxating patella — a kneecap that slips out of its groove — is one of the most common orthopedic conditions in small-breed dogs, and can also affect large breeds and cats. When surgery is indicated, H&M VetSurg provides board-certified correction at your own veterinarian’s hospital.
Complete Surgical Correction
Dr. Hani M. Korani, DVM, DACVS-SA, performs the full combination of techniques each knee requires — trochleoplasty (deepening the groove), tibial tuberosity transposition, and soft tissue balancing — tailored to the grade of luxation. When patellar luxation occurs alongside a torn CCL, both can be corrected in a single procedure.
Why Owners Choose Mobile Specialty Surgery
Your pet stays with the veterinary team they know, you avoid long drives and unfamiliar facilities, and your veterinarian stays fully involved in your pet’s care from diagnosis through recovery.
Getting Started
If your dog skips, hops, or carries a hind leg intermittently, ask your veterinarian for an orthopedic evaluation — and have them call H&M VetSurg at (415) 853-7600 to discuss surgical correction.
