Templated tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and implant guidance system improves accuracy in novice surgeons: an ex vivo study
Key Points
Improved accuracy in technical execution indicates the ProCut TPLO can enhance surgical precision.
ProCut TPLO outperformed traditional methods, achieving higher metrics in execution accuracy.
Ex vivo comparison highlighted its advantages, especially for novice surgeons transitioning into practice.
Findings suggest that incorporating an implant guidance system may facilitate better surgical outcomes for beginners.
Abstract
The ProCut TPLO yielded more accurate technical execution across all metrics compared to the traditional TPLO and thus may offer novices an accurate and efficient method of executing TPLOs.
