The Arthrex Vet MPL plates follow the same anatomic engineering aspects of the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) Plating System with additional features to address medial patella luxation.&nbsp; The MPL plate includes a step to offset the fragment from the long bone of the tibia creating medial tibial plateau translation and a locking screw distal to the cut protecting the osteotomy.&nbsp; The plates are also designed to have proximal and distal locking holes to be less prominent under the skin. Proximal screw holes with specific trajectories within the proximal fragment. The distal end has limited bone contact and is designed with two k-wire holes to aid in positioning, the plates are also contoured to the bone, marked with a laser line for optimal positioning and step location. Additionally, the plates include a suture hole proximally for the application of an InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation, providing rotational stability. Finally, the distal end of the plate incorporates VetSuture holes on the cranial aspect to aid in soft tissue closure.&nbsp; The Arthrex Vet MPL Plating System has been created by veterinarians for veterinarians making a more reproducible procedure for happier and healthier patients.&nbsp; 
 
Size range includes 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm small, 3.5 mm standard, and 3.5 mm broad in left and right options.
