In Boullenger 2025 et al., on traumatic patellar luxation, what surgical technique was performed in all cases?
A. Trochlear block recession
B. Tibial tuberosity transposition
C. Capsular imbrication
D. Medial retinacular release
E. Distal femoral osteotomy
Answer: Capsular imbrication
Explanation: All 16 cases received capsular imbrication regardless of severity or direction.
In Boullenger 2025 et al., on traumatic patellar luxation, what was the total proportion of cases experiencing severe complications?
A. 7.1%
B. 14.3%
C. 21.4%
D. 28.6%
E. 35.7%
Answer: 21.4%
Explanation: Three of 14 animals (21.4%) had severe complications including FPS or capsular suture failure.
In Boullenger 2025 et al., on traumatic patellar luxation, what was the most common grade of luxation reported at presentation?
A. Grade 1
B. Grade 2
C. Grade 3
D. Grade 4
E. Bidirectional
Answer: Grade 3
Explanation: Grade 3 PL was most common, consistent across both dogs and cats.
In Boullenger 2025 et al., on traumatic patellar luxation, what percentage of cases experienced complete resolution of lameness by 2 months postoperatively?
A. 54%
B. 62%
C. 77%
D. 84%
E. 91%
Answer: 77%
Explanation: Ten of 13 animals had full lameness resolution by 2-month follow-up (76.9%).
In Boullenger 2025 et al., on traumatic patellar luxation, what was a proposed strategy to improve FPS outcomes in large or active dogs?
A. Avoid use of FPS entirely
B. Use femoral condyle bone tunnel instead of fabella
C. Use absorbable suture
D. Perform only in grade 4 PL
E. Delay surgery for 8 weeks
Answer: Use femoral condyle bone tunnel instead of fabella
Explanation: The study suggests alternative isometric anchoring techniques (e.g. femoral condyle bone tunnel) may reduce FPS failure.
