Cruciate Ligament Rupture: Beyond the TPLO
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of BoardsCast, we go beyond the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) and examine cruciate ligament rupture through a broader lens of joint mechanics, instability, and alternative strategies.
You’ll learn:
- Why cruciate rupture is a degenerative—not traumatic—process
- The biomechanics behind cranial tibial thrust and passive constraint
- How alignment, slope, and conformation influence surgical planning
- When TPLO isn’t the right answer — and what to do instead
- Lateral suture, CBLO, TTA, and conservative options: pros and pitfalls
- How to handle the partially torn cruciate and emerging diagnostics
This episode is for anyone who wants to understand not just how to cut a TPLO — but when not to.
