Unlike traditional ligament repair methods, TPLO focuses on modifying the geometry of the tibia. The slope of the tibial plateau plays a major role in joint instability after a ligament tear. During TPLO-Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, the surgeon carefully cuts and rotates the bone to reduce this slope. As a result, the forward movement of the tibia during weight-bearing is minimized. Consequently, the knee becomes stable even without a functioning ligament. This biomechanical correction allows dogs to walk and run more naturally, reducing strain on surrounding structures and slowing the progression of joint degeneration.
