Apollo TPLO Plate 3.5mm Broad

TPLO, or Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs. The procedure involves cutting and repositioning the tibial plateau, the upper part of the tibia bone in the dog’s hind leg, to reduce the stress on the CCL and improve stability in the knee joint.

The TPLO surgery is typically indicated for dogs with CCL injuries that are causing lameness or instability in the knee joint. The procedure can be performed on dogs of any size or breed, but is most commonly used for larger breeds that are more prone to CCL injuries.

The TPLO surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and requires a high level of surgical skill and precision. After making an incision in the skin, the surgeon will cut the bone and reposition it to the proper angle using a specialized plate and screws. The incision is then closed with sutures, and the dog is allowed to recover from the anesthesia.

Overall, the TPLO surgery can be a highly effective treatment for CCL injuries in dogs, providing long-term pain relief and improved mobility. However, it is important for veterinarians to carefully evaluate each individual dog and determine whether the procedure is appropriate, as well as to provide appropriate post-surgical care to ensure the best possible outcome.
