Advanced TPLO 2 (September 2025)

Includes a Live In-Person Event on 09/27/2025 at 8:00 AM (EDT)

This course requires participants to have completed the TPLO - Advanced TPLO 1.

Now that you have are comfortable with TPLO to treat routine CrCL injuries in dogs, are you ready to tackle the most difficult patients? This course will address CrCL repair using TPLO in dogs that have excessively steep tibial plateau angles, concomitant limb deformities and revision strategies for dogs with a failed TPLO. Treating special conditions such as these require accurate planning and modifications of the traditional TPLO technique. If performed by a properly trained surgeon, clinical function can be excellent following treatment of these conditions.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to perform a TPLO in dogs with an excessive tibial plateau angle.
  • Learn how to perform a modified (neutral) cranial closing wedge osteotomy
  • Learn how to perform a TPLO in a dog with a tibial deformity.
  • Learn how to revise a TPLO complicated by a postoperative tibial fracture.


Participants are encouraged to invite a technician/assistant to join them for the course. Develop your surgical team when you train alongside each other to perform new procedures. Technicians/Assistants must be registered for the same product as their respective veterinarian in order to attend the course.
