Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of digital surgical planning and its implementation during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) by different experience levels of surgeons.
Twelve participants planned 10 TPLOs from blinded radiographs of dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease.
Surgical accuracy was assessed through comparisons of pre-operative plans and post-operative radiographs using linear mixed-effect models.
Eight surgeons performed TPLO osteotomies on 3D printed tibial models to evaluate in vitro accuracy.
Pre-operative planning accuracy did not significantly differ with surgeon experience.
Surgical trainees showed notable inaccuracies in in vitro TPLOs compared to predetermined metrics (D1, p = 0.019; D2, p = 0.002).
Both trainee and boarded surgeons demonstrated similar accuracy levels during in vitro testing of osteotomies.
