Publication number: 20070233106Abstract: An improved tibial plateau leveling osteotomy plate is disclosed. The plate is contoured in its proximal head portion to more closely resemble the structure of the tibial bone segment that is cut and rotated during the procedure. The plate also preferably has screw holes in the proximal head portion that are machined through the pre-contoured proximal head portion and are designed to angle the screw in a targeted screw path with respect to the osteotomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: Synthes (USA)Inventors: Timothy Horan, Christopher Scholl, Daneen Touhalisky
