Dyna International’s 3.5mm Titanium TPLO Locking Plates Kit Tibial Osteotomy Veterinary Orthopedic are often used in orthopedic surgery to stabilize bone fractures or osteotomies (surgical cuts in bone). In the context of TPLO, the locking plates help to stabilize the tibial osteotomy, which is a deliberate cut made in the tibia during the surgical procedure to change the biomechanics of the knee joint. The use of locking plates in TPLO has become more common due to their ability to provide rigid stabilization and facilitate faster healing. These plates are designed to prevent micromotion at the bone-plate interface, promoting better stability during the healing process.
