An alternative to the traditional forked plates. Secured using 2.4mm screws in the tibial crest, after the osteotomy and advancement have been made. Distal screws are secured using screws as appropriate. The rest of the technique is as per standard TTA.
Advantages:
• Position of the plate on the tibial crest and tibial diaphysis not fixed until after the osteotomy and advancement have been made – avoids difficult diaphyseal screw placement where the distal screws are too caudal on the tibia. Problem in small breeds and if this is missed in planning.
• Tibial crest screws can be angled if needed
• Screw length of tibial crest screws can be individual selected for better fit
• Less screw holes in tibial crest than fork holes, helping reduce risk of tibial crest fracture
A starter set of forkless plates (one of each) is available at a good discount over component costs.
