Resumen

This case report describes the application of a patient-specific saw guide (PSSG) for patellar groove replacement (PGR) in a dog with severe medial patellar luxation, stifle osteoarthritis, and minor femoral varus deformity. The design, fabrication, and surgical implementation of the PSSG is described, highlighting its feasibility and potential to improve the precision of osteotomy and implant placement in complex orthopedic cases.
