Precise pre-operative examination and planning are crucial before surgical procedures, especially tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in veterinary medicine, to understand the biomechanical conditions of the knee joint and to determine the correct surgical approach. This includes a comprehensive assessment of the joint anatomy, muscle function, and body weight of the animal to ensure optimal functionality after the procedure. Detailed planning prevents postoperative complications and contributes to the animal's long-term health and mobility.

TPLO, Surgery, Cruciate ligament rupture dog / From

TPLO surgery, short for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat cruciate ligament ruptures in the knee joint, primarily in dogs. By adjusting the pubic bone angle, the procedure neutralizes shear forces within the knee, thereby stabilizing the joint and eliminating the need for an intact cruciate ligament. The result: a stable knee joint that allows the animal to move with complete confidence and without pain. It is an efficient and reliable method for quickly restoring mobility and quality of life.
