New TPLO plate system

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.
