Osteotomy/Ostectomy

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position should be placed first in the head of the plate.

Effect of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Transection during TPLO on Patellar Desmitis in Dogs with Partial Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

This study did not identify a protective effect of transecting the CCL remnant.

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position minimises cranial osteotomy gap formation.
