area, ascending aorta, pulmonary artery, & the left craniodorsal cardiac
base. Following examination of the left precordium, the right precordium
should be examined.
PATELLAS
- $15.00 - PATELLAS Form
Patellar luxation is caused by congenital abnormality usually at the level
of the hip joint and results in abnormal forces on the kneecap, which
cause it to eventually ride outside of the groove. The groove becomes
very shallow and the attachment of the ligament of the patella may be
malpositioned on the tibia bone. If the patellar luxation occurs in mature
animals, the tibia and femur bones become twisted.
