TIBIAL PLATEAU LEVELING OSTEOTOMY PLATE WITH SUTURE HOLES FOR ROTATIONAL STABILITY

摘要

A TPLO plate configured to accommodate flexible strands(flexible loops) attached to tissue to be attached to bone. The TPLO plate hasone or more suture eyelets, to allow the user (surgeon) to pass a flexiblestrand through the eyelets and attach/reattach the tissue to the plate at theanatomical location, and to improve the rotational stability of the joint orbone. The eyelets may have various shapes, forms and configurations andmay be provided on or within a surface of the TPLO bone plate in any number,depending on the characteristics of the fractured bone or bone segments,or of the plate design. The eyelets preferably receive one or more flexiblestrands.
