Case records of cattle admitted to 2 university veterinary hospitals during 6 years were evaluated to determine the age, breed, sex, and treatment of cattle with upward fixation of the patella. Affected cattle were compared with those from the respective hospital populations of cattle admitted during the same time. Of 38 cattle with upward fixation of the patella, 34 were treated surgically. Follow-up evaluation was obtained from owners of 28 of the treated cattle. Surgery was successful in eliminating all clinical signs in 25 of the 28 cattle. There was an increased risk of upward fixation of the patella associated with Brahman and Brahman-type cattle, compared with non-Brahman cattle.
对两所大学兽医院在6年期间收治的牛病例记录进行评估,以确定患有髌骨向上固定的牛的年龄、品种、性别和治疗情况。将患病牛与同期两所医院收治的各自牛群进行比较。在38头患有髌骨向上固定的牛中,34头接受了手术治疗。对28头接受治疗的牛的主人进行了随访评估。28头牛中有25头手术成功消除了所有临床症状。与非婆罗门牛相比,婆罗门牛和婆罗门型牛发生髌骨向上固定的风险增加。
