The OrthoLine MPL plates follow the same anatomic engineering principles as the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) Plating System, with additional features to address medial patellar luxation.&nbsp;The MPL plate includes a step to offset the fragment from the long bone of the tibia, creating medial tibial plateau translation as well as a locking screw distal to the cut to protect the osteotomy.&nbsp;The plates are also designed with proximal and distal locking holes to reduce prominence under the skin. Additionally, proximal screw holes follow specific trajectories within the proximal fragment.&nbsp;
 
The distal end has limited bone contact and includes two K-wire holes to aid in positioning. The plates are contoured to the bone and marked with a laser line to indicate optimal positioning and step location. The plates also include a proximal suture hole to enable InternalBrace™ repair for additional rotational stability. Holes on the cranial aspect of the plate's distal end enable soft-tissue closure with VetSuture™ suture.&nbsp;
 
The OrthoLine MPL plating system was created by veterinarians for veterinarians to help make the procedure more reproducible and support happier, healthier patients. &nbsp; 
 

Sizes include 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 plates, all in left and right options.

OrthoLine™ Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) System

Child (D)

Kirschner wires, or K-wires, are used for temporary fixation during some orthopedic operations. After definitive fixation, they should be removed.
 
Use K-wires to:
<ul>
 <li>Help rotate the proximal bone fragment</li>
 <li>Hold the rotated proximal bone fragment in place during the TPLO procedure</li>
 <li>Secure jig pin to the bone</li>
 <li>Hold the TPLO plate during placement</li>
</ul>

TPLO Disposables and Limited Reusables

Arthrex TPLO instruments are designed to help surgeons perform more reproducible procedures.
<ul>
 <li>Unique, high-quality instruments for more successful procedures</li>
 <li>Popliteal protectors for different patient sizes</li>
 <li>Locking drill guide works as a depth gauge while using the appropriate Arthrex drill bit</li>
</ul>
