A Bichon Frise, nickname: Lafei, 3 years old, female (unneutered), 4.6kg,suffered from a lameness in the left hind limb; a drawer test was performed with positive results, and DR imaging showed anterior tibial tilt, based on which the dog was diagnosed with the rupture of cranial cruciate ligament of the left hind limb. As such, we decided to perform a TPLO surgery. Accurate preoperative planning was made by BlueSAO iBlueVet to determine the TPA angle to be 30° and by using a 15mm saw blade with a travel distance of 7mm intraoperatively, we fixed it with BlueSAO TPLO-5.5mm L-type pure titanium locking plate for internal fixation. The dog is recovering well from the surgery. 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.
