A Poodle, 12 years old, male, 5.7kg, suffered from a lameness in the right hind limb for 1 week due to sprain caused by outdoor exercise; a drawer test was performed with positive results, and DR imaging showed anterior tibial tilt, based on which the dog was diagnosed with a complete rupture of cranial cruciate ligament. As such, we decided to perform a TPLO surgery. Accurate preoperative planning was made by BlueSAO iBlueVet to determine the TPA angle to be 26°. We performed the surgery by using the BlueSAO TPLO-5.5mm R-type pure titanium locking plate for treatment with a 12mm saw blade and a movement distance of 4.4mm. The surgery was completed successfully. Best wishes for an early recovery.

Thanks to Dr. Chi Xinyu (Northeastern Agricultural University Veterinary Teaching Hospital) for sharing the clinical case of BlueSAO TPLO locking plate system.
