Patellar Groove Replacement (PGR) provides a novel solution to the challenge of treating severe canine patellofemoral degenerative joint disease.
While conventional treatments, e.g. TTT, remain effective for patients with grade 1 – 2 patella luxation, more complex scenarios, combining multiple deformities and severe trochlear malformation, present a considerable challenge to surgeons and too often result in a less than satisfactory clinical outcome.
The execution of the PGR surgical technique is straightforward. However, successful outcomes require surgeons’ comprehensively evaluating the hind limb and accounting for all relevant factors.
The PGR Workshop is available as a dry lab or wet lab workshop. Both formats include lectures on background, planning, surgical technique, clinical experience, and complications. The wet lab format includes the practical exercise of surgical planning, execution of a PGR on a cadaver specimen, post-op radiography, and case review discussion.
Included in the workshop booking is enrolment in an online introductory course that provides relevant information about the PGR system, indications for PGR, pre- and post-operative care, and the surgical technique.
KYON PGR Training is appropriate for veterinary surgeons with well-rounded orthopedic experience, knowledge in fracture plating, corrective osteotomies, and TPLO or TTA techniques. Complications are minimal, commonly associated with technical errors, and easily avoided with comprehensive instruction, diligent planning and practice.
Your hospital OR is suitable for advanced orthopedic surgery, including joint replacement.
Some surgeons and clinics will have more preparation to do than others. We are happy to discuss your specific circumstances and chart a path.
The PGR device is a unique solution to address the condition of patellar luxation where the kneecap dislocates from its normal location in the patellar groove.
