A '''luxating patella''', sometimes called a '''trick knee''', is a condition in which the [[patella]], or kneecap, dislocates or moves out of its normal location. It  can be associated with damage to the [[anterior cruciate ligament]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kneeandshoulder.md/print/print_acl.html |title=The Knee and Shoulder Centers - [PRINTABLE] Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery |access-date=2007-11-27 }}</ref>

Patellar luxation is a common condition in [[dog]]s, particularly small and miniature breeds.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Engdahl |first1=Karolina |last2=Bergström |first2=Annika |last3=Höglund |first3=Odd |last4=Hanson |first4=Jeanette |title=The epidemiology of patellar luxation in an insured Swedish dog population |journal=Preventive Veterinary Medicine |date=September 2023 |pages=106034 |doi=10.1016/j.prevetmed.2023.106034 |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167587723001988|doi-access=free }}</ref> The condition usually becomes evident between the ages of 4 and 6 months. It can occur in [[cat]]s as well, especially [[domestic short-haired cat]]s.<ref name=Ettinger_1995>{{cite book|author1=Ettinger, Stephen J. |author2=Feldman, Edward C. |title=Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine|edition=4th |publisher=W.B.

There have been several reports of patellar luxation in other species such as miniature pigs, alpacas, llamas, cattle, and goats.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Trochlear wedge sulcoplasty, tibial tuberosity transposition, and lateral imbrication for correction of a traumatic patellar luxation in a miniature companion pig: A case report and visual description |year=2020 |doi=10.3389/fvets.2020.567886 |pmid=33521073 |doi-access=free |last1=Høy-Petersen |first1=J. |last2=Smith |first2=J.
