    Default NoJoe's new knee!


    Hi ya'll, long time no see me but I'm alive and well. Some of you may remember my dooface dog NoJoe at camp last year and may remember him gimping around favoring his right rear leg. Well it finally got bad enough and with the "luxating patella" happening in his left leg he got to where he couldn't hardly walk at all.
    Being he's so health and young, we decided we needed to bite the bullet and get his knee fixed, knowing we will need to go through all of this again with the left leg in a few months.
    He was kept at the vet for 2 LOONG weeks and I have him home now and he's doing GREAT!
    What they did to him was open his leg up and carve the groove in the bottom of his femur deeper to hold the knee cap in place. His was bad enough they cut the tibial crest (that knobby part of the top of your tibia (shin bone)) and moved it over and pinned it in line with the groove in his femur. His little patella (knee cap) was deformed and "cupped" from being out of place too long so he re-shaped it a bit too.
    It's pretty gruesom looking so I'm not posting the pictures on here, but if you want to see what a $1600 knee surgery looks like, I have a bunch of photos of it on my Facebook....
    Surgery pictures here!
