Treatment of a patient with a CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) tear and a long standing MPL (medial patella luxation). This required moving the articulating surface of the tibia medial relative to the tibial tuberosity (the point where the patella tendon attaches on the front of the shin bone) to treat the MPL, at the same time as performing a TPLO to treat the CCL tear. When the tibia is cut and moved a plate is used to hd the plate in position whilst it heals. In this case the plate requires extra bending to fit the bone surfaces.
