TPLO

Cruciate disease is one of the most common causes of pelvic limb lameness in dogs. We perform tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) which is seen as the gold standard for the treatment of CCL rupture in small animals.

At HSR we use the highest quality poly-axial locking plates with a pure-silver based plasma coating, which provides a constant release of silver ions to inhibit bacterial growth. At the time of print we have seen almost no cases of post-operative wound infection when using these new generation implants.

Our experienced surgeons have performed several thousand TPLO procedures. As well as standard TPLO in dogs ranging from 3kg to >100kg we regularly perform:

• TPLO with concurrent correction of patellar luxation
• Single stage bilateral TPLO in cases with bilateral CCL rupture
• TPLO and concurrent limb alignment correction
• TPLO in cats

We offer a TPLO guarantee

Should our patients need any revision procedure following a TPLO surgery, we will cover the cost.

TPLO patients are eligible for the guarantee if:

• Our advice on postoperative care has been followed. Pet owners will receive discharge instructions and a member of our team will explain the steps clearly.
• The provided rest and exercise timetable has been followed. Including crate rest and lead walking- if these instructions have not been followed, then we cannot guarantee a successful recovery process.
• The patient attends the recommended physiotherapy at our hospital. This includes either a physiotherapy discharge consultation or a physiotherapy session within two weeks of discharge. In addition, the pet will need to attend a physio assessment at their six-week follow-up appointment.
• The pet has worn a cone collar (or equivalent) for the advised amount of time. Antibiotics are not covered in our guarantee.
