What is TPLO Surgery? | JNJAnimalHealth, DePuy Synthes
TPLO stands for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and is a surgical procedure that makes a change to the biomechanics of the knee to reduce pain and instability. During surgery, a curved cut will be made near the top of the tibia (shin bone). The top of the bone is then rotated to reduce the slope on the top of the tibia (this is where the “leveling” comes from). A stainless steel bone plate is held to the tibia with bone screws to secure the tibia in position while the bone heals.
