Wozu ein neues TPLO Plattensystem?
Das neue StarLoc® TPLO-Plattensystem stellt einen signifikanten Fortschritt in der chirurgischen Versorgung des Kreuzbandrisses beim Hund dar. Hier sind die entscheidenden Gründe, warum wir in unserer Klinik auf diese Technologie setzen:
Maximale Stabilität durch Multidirektionale Winkelstabilität
Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Systemen erlaubt StarLoc® eine multidirektionale Verriegelung der Schrauben. Das bedeutet, dass die Schrauben in verschiedenen Winkeln fest mit der Platte verbunden werden können. Das Ergebnis ist eine extrem belastbare Konstruktion, die selbst bei aktiven Hunden oder schwierigen Knochenverhältnissen eine überlegene Primärstabilität bietet.
Anatomische Präzision & Schonung
Die Platten sind speziell an die Anatomie der Tibia (Schienbein) angepasst und verfügen über ein Low-Profile-Design.
- Advantage: Die Platte trägt weniger auf, was Weichteilirritationen minimiert und die Wundheilung beschleunigt.
- Material: Hochwertiges Titan sorgt für beste Bio-Kompatibilität und reduziert das Risiko von Abstoßungsreaktionen oder Infektionen im Vergleich zu Edelstahl.
Optimale Kraftverteilung
Durch das innovative Design wird die mechanische Last gleichmäßiger auf den Knochen verteilt. Dies ist besonders wichtig in der kritischen Heilungsphase direkt nach der Operation, da es das Risiko von Materialversagen oder Schraubenlockerungen drastisch senkt.
Conclusion: Mit dem StarLoc® System bieten wir Ihrem Hund eine sicherere, stabilere und schnellere Rückkehr zu schmerzfreier Mobilität.

FAQ about the TPLO disk system by Starloc®
What exactly is the Starloc® tile system?
The TPLO plate system, also known as the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy System, is a modern technology for treating and stabilizing cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs. It maximizes healing potential and offers a robust method for bone fixation.
Who is this system suitable for?
The new TPLO plate system is particularly suitable for dogs (but also cats) for whom other surgical techniques such as TTA, extracapsular or intracapsular ligament replacement are not an option due to the weight or shape of the tibial plateau.
How does the Starloc® plate system differ from other treatment methods?
Thanks to its adaptive plate technology, the Starloc® TPLO plate system enables stronger bone fixation, leading to faster healing. Furthermore, it adapts to different bone sizes and shapes, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of patients.
How long does the healing process take?
While the exact healing process may vary from patient to patient, our experience is very positive and we see a shortened rehabilitation time and a faster return to normal dog life thanks to the TPLO plate system.
How secure is the TPLO disk system?
Patient safety is our top priority. The TPLO plate system was developed according to strict quality standards and manufactured from high-quality materials that ensure maximum safety and efficiency. Quality Made in Germany by PTU Medical.
Where can I find out more about training on the record system?
In cooperation with PTU Medical, we offer training and continuing education courses on the TPLO plate system. Contact us directly or visit our website for more information on available courses and dates.
How can I purchase the panel system for my veterinary practice?
Contact us directly via our Website, to learn more about the purchase of the TPLO plate system including various locking screws.
Are there alternatives to TPLO surgery?
Yes, there are several alternatives to TPLO surgery for treating cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs – but the right choice depends on the individual animal and is the basis for a successful operation – please feel free to contact us if you are unsure:
- TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement)In this method, the front edge of the pubic bone (tibia) is moved forward to stabilize the knee joint. This alters the biomechanics of the knee, so that the anterior cruciate ligament is no longer needed to stabilize the joint.
- Extracapsular repairIn this procedure, a strong, artificial ligament is used outside the joint to replace the torn cruciate ligament. Over time, the ligaments and surrounding tissue heal, further stabilizing the knee.
- Intracapsular repairIn this procedure, a graft, usually from a tendon section of the animal's own body, is used to replace the torn ligament. This method attempts to replicate the natural anatomy of the knee as closely as possible.
- Conservative treatmentIn some cases, particularly with smaller dogs or animals with low activity levels, conservative treatment may be considered. This includes pain management, physiotherapy, and, if necessary, weight management.
While TPLO surgery is preferred in many cases due to its good long-term results, the alternatives mentioned are also valid options depending on the individual needs of the animal, its health, and the veterinarian's preferences. It is important to consult with a specialized veterinarian to discuss the most suitable treatment method for the animal in question.
Summary of the new Starloc® panel system
The TPLO plate system represents a revolutionary advancement in veterinary orthopedics. Modern TPLO plate systems have fundamentally changed the way cruciate ligament injuries are treated in dogs. The basic idea behind the TPLO plate system The goal is to modify the angle of the tibial plateau in order to ensure the function and stability of the knee regardless of the condition of the cruciate ligament.
Since that Starloc® panel system Offering a reliable and proven solution for this type of injury, it has quickly gained acceptance and use in the veterinary community. Veterinarians who use the TPLO plate system Those who have integrated it into their practice report significantly improved healing rates and a reduced recurrence rate in their patients.
The TPLO plate system It relies on precise engineering and high-quality materials, which not only ensures increased durability but also minimizes the risk of complications. Another strength of the TPLO plate system Its adaptability is key. Thanks to various plate sizes and shapes, it can be used for a wide variety of dogs of different sizes and breeds.
In further education and training courses related to the Starloc® panel system Veterinarians can deepen their knowledge and familiarize themselves with the latest best practices. The implementation of the TPLO plate system While clinical practice requires an initial investment – which has been greatly reduced in our case through just-in-time delivery and no minimum order quantities – in equipment and training, the long-term benefits it offers for both the animals and the veterinarians are undeniable.
In conclusion, this is TPLO plate system More than just a medical instrument, it symbolizes progress in veterinary orthopedics and offers a reliable solution to a widespread problem. With the TPLO plate system Veterinarians can treat their patients with confidence and ensure an improved quality of life for them.
