From: Comparison of tibial anatomical-mechanical axis angles and patellar positions between tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) and modified cranial closing wedge osteotomy (AMA-based CCWO) for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament disease in large dogs with tibial plateau slopes greater than 30° and clinically normal Labradors retrievers

Postoperative osteotomy position and PLT in the TPLO group. Mediolateral radiographs of a stifle of a dog in the TPLO group illustrating the postoperative osteotomy position as evaluated using Pixelstick software (circles) with the centre of the osteotomy placed in position E (on the tibial long axis) (a) and the same stifle 2 months postoperatively with grade 5 PLT at the level of the tibial crest (red line) and grade 2 PLT at the level of the distal pole of the patella (blue line) (b). PLT, patellar ligament thickening
