Precise pre-examination and planning prior to surgical procedures, especially tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in veterinary medicine, are crucial to understanding the biomechanical conditions of the knee joint and determining correct surgical procedures. This includes a comprehensive assessment of the joint anatomy, muscle function and body weight of the animal to ensure optimal functionality after surgery. Detailed planning prevents post-operative complications and contributes to the long-term health and mobility of the animal.
