Planning and controlling a TPLO operation

Planning and controlling a TPLO operation

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

TPLO surgery, short for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat cruciate ligament tears in the knee joint, primarily in dogs. By adjusting the angle of the pubic bone, the procedure neutralizes shear forces in the knee, thereby stabilizing the joint and obviating 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 to quickly restore mobility and quality of life.
