Handling of the tibial muscle envelope in tibial plateau levelling osteotomy - to elevate or not?
Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2013SummaryObjective: To compare the outcome of the tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) procedure, using a 6-hole 3.5 mm locking TPLO plate and performed with the muscle elevation technique (ET) and placement of sponges, to the TPLO without performing these steps (non-elevation-technique [NET]).Material and methods: Medical records and radiographs of

Learning curve of Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy based on Tibial Plateau Angle.
Medycyna WeterynaryjnaThe objective of the study was to assess a single surgeon’s learning curve for Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO). The criterion was the accuracy of achieving a planned tibial plateau angle (TPA) immediately after surgery and comparing it with TPAs achieved by two experienced surgeons.

Osteosarcoma of the Tibia 6 Years After Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy
Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 2012A 7 yr old spayed female mastiff presented for examination of a left pelvic limb lameness of 3 mo duration. Six years previously, the dog had undergone tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery of the left pelvic limb for the treatment of cranial cruciate disease. On presentation, the dog had a painful and swollen proximal tibia.

Complications Associated With 696 Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomies (2001–2003)
Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 2006A total of 696 tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) procedures were performed over a 30-month period following TPLO training. The overall complication rate was 18.8%. Complications were classified as perioperative (1%), short-term (9.3%), and long-term (8.5%). Examples of complications encountered during the study were hemorrhage,

Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in a llama with a ruptured cranial cruciate ligament
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2004A 3-year-old 155-kg (342-lb) castrated male llama was examined because of left hind limb lameness of acute onset. A diagnosis of cranial cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament rupture was made, and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy was recommended.
