Mengtai, a 2.2kg British Shorthair cat, has been limping on his right hind leg for about half a year. X-ray examination revealed an old fracture of the right femoral neck, and in addition, the shortening of the femur caused medial patellar luxation. Femoral neck fracture can cause severe pain and hind limb dysfunction. The best treatment option is a hip replacement surgery.
