A smaller version of the popular TPLO plates, the 1.6 mm TPLO locking plates are specifically designed for small-breed bone anatomy. Additionally, this plate has key features that make plate placement easier and more consistent.
&nbsp;
The 1.6 mm plates offer a knotless, antirotational lateral stabilization with the&nbsp;InternalBrace™ procedure to support the primary repair for dogs with severe stifle instability.
• Ideal plate fit and profile
• Caudal tilt is great for screw purchase
• Proximal screw trajectory is directed to avoid the osteotomy
• Minimal contouring required

1.6 mm TPLO Plates and Screws

Child (D)

The Arthrex Vet MPL plates follow the same anatomic engineering aspects of the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) Plating System with additional features to address medial patella luxation.&nbsp; The MPL plate includes a step to offset the fragment from the long bone of the tibia creating medial tibial plateau translation and a locking screw distal to the cut protecting the osteotomy.&nbsp; The plates are also designed to have proximal and distal locking holes to be less prominent under the skin. Proximal screw holes with specific trajectories within the proximal fragment. The distal end has limited bone contact and is designed with two k-wire holes to aid in positioning, the plates are also contoured to the bone, marked with a laser line for optimal positioning and step location. Additionally, the plates include a suture hole proximally for the application of an InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation, providing rotational stability. Finally, the distal end of the plate incorporates VetSuture holes on the cranial aspect to aid in soft tissue closure.&nbsp; The Arthrex Vet MPL Plating System has been created by veterinarians for veterinarians making a more reproducible procedure for happier and healthier patients.&nbsp; 
 
Size range includes 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm small, 3.5 mm standard, and 3.5 mm broad in left and right options.

OrthoLine™ Medial Patella Luxation (MPL) System

The OrthoLine fracture management system allows the surgeon to perform a fracture repair with the same screws used in the TPLO System. The 99-plate, state-of-the-art fracture line includes sizes 1.6 mm, 1.6 mm broad, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm for straight and T-style plates and 3.5 mm broad straight plates for both feline and canine patients.
Designed with the surgeon in mind, the plates have many features to help create a more reproducible procedure. The locking straight plates include a slide hole, which allows slight movement across the fracture line to facilitate the best plate placement. The low-profile design reduces prominence under the skin and features, limiting bone-to-plate contact. Plate size and length were specifically designed to include hole-to-hole spacing.
Tight screw density on the distal and proximal ends with larger bridges near the center of the plate allows surgeons to fit more screws in the same footprint than competitive plates. Additional features designed to aid in proper plate placement include K-wire holes, variable-angle locking screws for the titanium lines, slide holes, and compression holes. OrthoLine plates can be contoured using size-specific bending irons and cannulated bending plugs, which can also function as K-wire holes in any locking screw hole.
In addition to the new OrthoLine fracture plates, the fracture management system includes a variety of screw options, including fully threaded headless compression screws, partially threaded screws, cannulated lag screws, low-profile screws, KreuLock™ locking compression screws, and QuickFix™ cannulated screws.
<ul>
 <li>Accommodates high screw density where needed</li>
 <li>Slide and compression holes</li>
 <li>Strong plate for bridging</li>
 <li>Low plate contact and low profile</li>
 <li>Color coded for easier identification</li>

OrthoLine™ Fracture System

The OrthoLine bridge plate system expands the OrthoLine plating system to deliver a complete solution for both routine and complex fractures. With the addition of veterinary bridge plates, surgeons gain seamless compatibility with existing instrumentation while expanding their options for challenging cases. These advantages lead to stronger patient outcomes and reinforces the OrthoLine system as an all-in-one veterinary plate solution. This veterinary bridge plate system is typically used to provide stability for nonreducible and complex fractures.
Features and Benefits
<ul>
 <li>Four locking screws on each end for secure stability</li>
 <li>Customizable length with cuttable holes for length-specific applications&nbsp;</li>
 <li>K-wire holes for provisional fixation</li>
 <li>Low-profile design for minimal prominence</li>
 <li>Designed to accommodate FiberTape® cerclage for adjunctive support</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Bridge Plate Fracture System

The OrthoLine acetabular fracture plating system, part of the OrthoLine plating system, includes an extended‑length locking drill guide for hard‑to‑reach anatomy. Each veterinary plate is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy of patients within a given size range, including 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm (short and standard), and 3.0 mm (standard and broad). Screw trajectories are optimized to maximize bone purchase throughout the cranial, central, and caudal regions of the acetabulum while improving screw pullout strength. These trajectories differ from most veterinary orthopedic plates, which typically use perpendicular screw holes only. Each screw hole also features a hood that aids thread purchase and helps reduce soft‑tissue irritation.
 
As with all products in the OrthoLine plating system, users have the option to use cortical, locking, and variable‑angle locking screws. OrthoLine acetabular plates also include K‑wire holes for provisional fixation, suture holes for prosthetic capsulorrhaphy, and an iliofemoral suture hole, offering versatility within a comprehensive veterinary fracture plate system.
 
 
Key Features: 

<ul>
 <li>Anatomically precontoured plates reduce operative time</li>
 <li>Defined screw trajectories maximize bone purchase and minimize pullout</li>
 <li>Dedicated suture holes aide in soft-tissue management and closure</li>
 <li>Hooded screw holes increase thread engagement and minimize soft-tissue irritation</li>
 <li>Extended locking drill guide for hard-to-reach anatomy</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Distal Femur Osteotomy System

The OrthoLine radial fracture plate system includes 1.6 mm, 1.6 mm broad, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm sizes. Each plate is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy of patients within a given size range.

OrthoLine™ Radial Fracture System

The cuttable straight plates are designed to offer multiple options and applications for veterinary orthopedic surgery. Each plate features three tight hole-to-hole spacings on either end, followed by a bridge on one side and a transition hole. Additionally, there is another set of three tight hole-to-hole spacings on the side with the bridge. The central hole spacing is larger, allowing for in-plane bending of approximately 7° to 8° before deformation of the screw hole occurs. This design provides flexibility and precision in various surgical scenarios.&nbsp;
 
The cuttable T-plates are designed to be placed in a juxta-articular fashion and cut to size. The design includes a 3-hole T on one side and a 2-hole T on the opposite side, following a bridge design with uniform hole-to-hole spacing throughout centrally. The central hole spacing allows for in-plane bending of up to 7° to 8°. This design ensures adaptability and precise placement in complex orthopedic procedures.

OrthoLine™ Cuttable Plate System

The OrthoLine distal humeral fracture system is the first plate of its kind to incorporate a transcondylar screw for distal humeral medial, supracondylar, Y-shaped, and T-shaped fractures.
 
Designed with the surgeon in mind, OrthoLine distal humeral plates are anatomic, incorporating the transcondylar screw within the construct and including specific trajectory to help with proper transcondylar screw placement. Screws are compatible across the OrthoLine plate line and with the Arthrex TPLO system. Products are available in sizes 1.6 mm/2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm plates for both feline and canine patients.
 
Repair medial, supracondylar, Y-shaped, and T-shaped fractures with a single plate construct using a K-wire on the lateral aspect for Y-shaped and T-shaped fractures when placing the plate medially. The epicondylar oval hole helps the surgeon find the right location to facilitate the best plate placement and allows relief for the epicondyle.
