Why TPLO?
TPLO offers the best long-term outcome of all cruciate disease treatments. However, traditional TPLO can be out of reach for many veterinarians due to its complexity and steep learning curve. At OssAbility, we have removed the learning curve by creating a single-use TPLO Guide that gives you precise control of the osteotomy position and rotational correction to help you perform TPLO with confidence. Learn how to perform Guided TPLO using a patient-specific preoperative plan provided by OssAbility’s Decision Support service, as well as how to assess and treat the meniscus and perform a mini-arthrotomy.
