Abstract: A seven-year-old intact male Chippiparai dog was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal, with a history of right hind limb lameness and intermittent weight-bearing. On Clinical examination lateral luxation of the right patella was noticed. A Grade IV lateral patellar luxation diagnosis was made based on the results of the physical and radiographic examinations. A cranio-lateral incision was made to approach the stifle joint. Following tibial wedge resection sulcoplasty, the tibial tuberosity was transposed slightly medially from its pre-existing position and secured with K-wire. After surgery, a crepe bandage was used to immobilize the stifle joint. Antibiotics and analgesics were administered orally for a week and skin sutures were removed after 14 days postoperatively. The dog's recovered without any complications.
