PPLO, or Partial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is a specialized modification of the TPLO technique used to treat partial cruciate ligament tears. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we use PPLO to provide stability while preserving more of the pet’s natural joint structure.
The procedure involves making a controlled cut in the tibial plateau and adjusting its angle to reduce strain on the ligament. Fixation is achieved with surgical plates and screws for reliable stability.
Pain management, sterile technique, and precision alignment ensure excellent outcomes and a smoother recovery process.
Rehabilitation includes controlled movement and gradual return to full weight-bearing over several weeks.
Animal Surgical Care of PA provides PPLO surgery to pets across Pennsylvania—offering advanced orthopedic care with a personal touch.
