Abstract:
A total of 84 cattle’s presented with clinical sign of upward fixation of patella in last 5 years were surgically treated in two major groups standing method and lateral recumbency method comprised of 12 cows, 12 bullocks, 12 buffaloes and 6 buffalo bulls in each group. Close method medial patellar desmotomy was performed by using infiltration of 2% lingnocaine at surgical site in all affected animals (n=84). The higher recovery rate 95.23% was observed in standing technique of patellar desmotomy as compared to 83.33% in lateral recumbency technique. Calm and docile animals were more suitable for standing method of medial patellar desmotomy. Standing technique proved better in better palpation, less complications and requires less manpower, but highly furious cattle’s, those were failed to restrain even after sedative effect requires lateral recumbency to perform desmotomy.
