    A case report on correction of upward patellar fixation of cattle by medial patellar desmotomy at Anowara thana, Chattogram
    (Chattogram Veterinary & Animal Sciences University, 2020-06) Nayan deb nath, Nayan deb
    Upward fixation of the patella is one of the most common stifle joint functional abnormalities in cattle defined by the temporary or permanent dislocation of the patella from its normal position during locomotion. Although this disorder is not life threatening, it cause temporary impairment and discomfort, lowering the value of animals. A study was undertaken at Upazilla Veterinary Hospital in Anowara, Chattogram, from February to April 2021. This study looked at the effectiveness of the medial patellar ligament section technique as a surgical treatment for dorsal patellar fixation in cattle held in lateral recumbence. In this study period, there were found 5 animals suffering from upward patellar fixation. The ages of the animals ranged from 3 to 6 years. Females (80%) had a higher tendency than males (20%). Local breed (60%) cattle were more prone to cross breed (40%) cattle. All of the procedures were carried out using the blind method of medial patellar desmotomy. All of the animals recovered from surgery, demonstrating that the procedure used to treat dorsal patellar fixation in cattle was both effective and straightforward to implement.
