This course requires participants to have completed the TPLO2 – Intermediate TPLO course.
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.

Brian Beale
DVM, DACVS, ACVS Founding Fellow (Minimally-Invasive Surgery)
H-Town Veterinary Specialists
Dr. Beale knew he was going to be a vet since he was 9 years old. His original inspiration came from his Grandparents. Growing up he often spent his weekends at their home, covered in drool from playing with their English Mastiffs and Saint Bernards. In a recent article (American Humane), Dr. Beale wrote that his grandparents taught him the importance of the human-animal bond and the responsibility we have to give our pets the best care possible.
Dr. Beale’s passion is education. He has spent a large portion of his career teaching in hands-on surgery labs and speaking at large conferences. Dr. Beale co-authored Small Animal Arthroscopy, an industry defining textbook on orthopedics. He has written many other published articles and book chapters on specialized care.
Dr. Beale received his DVM & completed his residency at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After his board certification he joined Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in 1992 and practiced there until 2019. In 2020, Dr. Beale founded Beale's Best and Bark City Veterinary Specialists.
Dr. Beale loves being a vet because he feels like he doesn’t have to work a day in his life. He enjoys spending his free time with his 3 kids, Isabel, Danielle, and Jared, and his wife, Mary.
Dr. Beale loves the Houston Zoo and has worked with their expert team of veterinarians on many occasions. Lions, sea turtles, monkeys, sloths, and kangaroos are only a few of the animals Dr. Beale has worked with.
Dr. Beale costarred on NetGeoWILD’s hit series, Animal ER, and he even hosted his own radio show, Your Pet’s Health, which aired on Houston KTRH 740.
