The NEW pre-contoured polyaxial locking TPLO plate family:
One of the most important goals in the development of TPLO plates is, in addition to maximum stability, the simplest possible use, to facilitate the work of the surgeon, and to shorten the surgical time. Intraoperative modeling of plates often requires serious physical force, due to the deformation of the plate, weak points are formed in its material, which can lead to breakage of the plate or loss of lockig stability due to deformation of the holes. It can also lead to breakage of srews.
It is therefore advantageous to bend the plates in advance, conture them according to the anatomical shape, and then drill the holes. In most cases, the plates made in this way fit perfectly on the surface of the tibia, and the screws can be placed in the holes at the most optimal angle for maximum stability. Minor deviations in the fit of the plate to the bone surface do not need to be corrected for further intaraoperative curvature of the plate due to locking stability. And the polyaxiality allows you to choose the most optimal direction for inserting the screws.
The precontoured plates are designed so that using the monoaxial drill guide, all screws will be parallel to the plane of the tibial plateau, thus avoiding the screw being inserted into the joint and creating a screw-plate connection with maximum stability.
