A Pomeranian mix, 6 years old, female, 11kg.

The dog suffered from a sudden lameness in the right hind limb at home in January. A cruciate ligament injury was suspected after clinic visit, and she improved on oral NSAIDs. However, a few days ago, she was completely unable to walk on her hind limbs and was diagnosed with a complete rupture of cranial cruciate ligament on X-ray examination, and was therefore brought to our hospital to undergo a TPLO surgery. She was fixed with BlueSAO TPLO-6.5mm R-type pure titanium locking plate for internal fixation. The surgery was completed successfully. Best wishes for an early recovery.

Thanks to Dr. Li Zhenfu (Nanjing Laile Pet Hospital) for sharing the clinical case of BlueSAO TPLO locking plate system.
