-'''Luxating patella''', or trick knee, is a condition in which the [[patella]], or kneecap, dislocates or moves out of its normal location.  The luxation is usually medial, but can be lateral.
-==Classification==
+==[[Dislocated patella overview|Overview]]==
-There are four diagnostic grades of patellar luxation<ref>{{cite web

-* Grade I - the patella can be manually luxated but is reduced (returns to the normal position) when released;
-* Grade II - the patella can be manually luxated or it can spontaneously luxate with [[flexion]] of the stifle joint. The patella remains luxated until it is manually reduced or when the animal extends the joint and derotates the [[tibia]] in the opposite direction of luxation;
-* Grade III - the patella remains luxated most of the time but can be manually reduced with the stifle joint in extension. Flexion and extension of the stifle results in reluxation of the patella;
-* Grade IV - the patella is permanently luxated and cannot be manually repositioned. There may be up to 90¼ of rotation of the proximal tibial plateau. The [[femur|femoral]] [[trochlea]]r groove is shallow or absent, and there is displacement of the [[quadriceps]] muscle group in the direction of luxation.
-==Pathophysiology==
+==[[Dislocated patella classification|Classification]]==
-It can be caused by some form of [[blunt force trauma|blunt trauma]], or may be a [[congenital]] defect.  In congenital cases, it is usually bilateral.
-==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
+==[[Dislocated patella pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-[[Osteoarthritis]] can develop secondarily.
-==Diagnosis==
+==[[Dislocated patella causes|Causes]]==

-Symptoms can range from none to severe pain.

-===Physical Examination===
+==[[Dislocated patella natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
-Diagnosis is made through palpation of the knee.
-===X-Rays===
+==Diagnosis==
-[[X-ray]]s are necessary in some cases.

 ==Treatment==
-Grades III and IV, as well as most grade II cases, require [[surgery]] to correct, if the animal has difficulty walking. The surgery involves a [[sulcoplasty]], a deepening of the [[trochlea]]r sulcus that the patella sits in.

-Additional help can be given with the use of pet ramps, stairs, or steps.  These can help the animal travel from one place to another, especially up and down, without adding any pain or damage to the patella.
