Abstract A 14‐month‐old Alaskan Malamute with chondrodysplasia (dwarfism) presented for progressive bilateral hindlimb lameness. A diagnosis of bilateral medially luxating patellae was made based on clinical and radiographic findings. The chondrodysplasia in this case was atypical in its hindlimb skeletal deformity along with atypical osteopaenia. The case was successfully managed with trochlear sulcoplasty and tibial tuberosity transposition; due to reduced bone quality, the tibial tuberosity was secured with a locking plate (ALPS; Kyon, Inc, Zurich, Switzerland). To the authors’ knowledge, treatment of patellar luxation in chondrodysplastic Alaskan Malamutes has not been previously reported.
