| Popis: | Wedge recession is a method which utilizes the geometry of similar triangles to recess an articular wedge into the underlying bone. This concept has been applied to congenital luxating patellae in the dog. A trochlear wedge recession deepens the femoral trochlea and provides stability to the patella. Preliminary trials of the procedure in dogs produced excellent results. |
