New TPLO plate system

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.
