Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) To view our Surgery Guide on TTA, please scan the QR code below.

TTA Starter Kit with Forkless Plates

An alternative to the traditional forked plates. Secured using 2.4mm screws in the tibial crest, after the osteotomy and advancement have been made. Distal plate holes are secured using screws as appropriate. The rest of the technique is as per standard TTA. Advantages: • Position of the plate on the tibial crest and tibial diaphysis not fixed until after the osteotomy and advancement have been made – avoids difficult diaphyseal screw placement where the distal screws are too caudal on the tibia. Problem in small breeds and if this is missed in planning • Tibial crest screws can be angled if needed • Screw length of tibial crest screws can be individually selected for better fit • Fewer screw holes in tibial crest than fork holes, helping reduce risk of tibial crest fracture

TTAFLPREM TTA Forkless Starter Kit

The TTA procedure developed by Tepic and Montavon is designed to bring the tibial plateau to sit at 90˚ to the straight patella ligament.This effectively neutralises the shear forces within the stifle under loading, making the stifle stable. This is achieved by advancing the tibial tuberosity and stabilising the created defect using a titanium cage and plate.The cage is selected for both thickness and width.The implants are secured using titanium screws. Titanium is very osteoconductive resulting in rapid healing.The use of stainless steel implants is not recommended.
