luxating patella grade 2

[S_B]

Thank you Scratchin Dog, I should have done a quick search before I asked.
So the patella is what this diagram is calling a stifle joint correct?

What I've seen in bulldogs is them being slip hocked I don't believe I've ever seen a luxating patella in this breed.

You're welcome.

Yes, the knee (patella) is at the stifle joint. Slipped hocks also seem to be more common in the Pit Bull. They can affect one or both back legs.
Here's a pic showing a slipped hock. You can see where the dogs hock on the right back leg is slipping forward making the dogs leg straighten out.
