Episode Synopsis

In this episode of BoardsCast, we cover the multifactorial nature of patellar luxation — a deceptively simple diagnosis that demands geometric precision and a rebalancing of forces for successful correction.We break down:The anatomic forces that push the patella medially or laterallyHow to assess limb alignment: femoral torsion, tibial rotation, trochlear depthSurgical options: tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT), trochleoplasty, wedge recession, imbricationPlanning surgical intervention based on Q-angle, trochlear wear, and tibial alignmentPostoperative pitfalls, complications, and board-style scenario reviewsWhether you’re facing a limping Yorkie or reviewing for your next board case, this episode puts all the pieces of patellar luxation surgery into a reliable, mechanics-first framework.—🎁 Claim your free sample of Simini Protect Lavage (just cover shipping): https://www.simini.com/getstarted1620808454519🔊 Listen On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music
