In stationary. Fig. 18. upward luxation of the patella there is swinging-leg lameness, with extreme extension of all joints,—that is, the leg is stretched backwards, and no assistance rendered can flex the joints. In cases where both joints are affected the animal is unable to move and apparently fastened to the ground. OUTWARD LUXATION OF THE PATELLA. Inspection.—There is supporting-leg lameness, with unusual flexion of all joints, similar as in crural nerve Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Wyman, Willy Edward Alexander; Möller, Heinrich, 1849-.
