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.

Medial Patella Luxation (MPL) Plating System 

Child (D)

The OrthoLine fracture management system allows the surgeon to perform a fracture repair with the same screws used in the TPLO System. The 70-plate, state-of-the-art fracture line includes sizes 1.6 mm, 1.6 mm broad, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm for straight and T-style plates and 3.5 mm broad straight plates for both feline and canine patients.
Designed with the surgeon in mind, the plates have many features to help create a more reproducible procedure: The locking straight plates include a slide hole, which allows slight movement across the fracture line to facilitate the best plate placement. The low-profile design reduces prominence under the skin and features, limiting bone-to-plate contact. Plate size and length were specifically designed to include hole-to-hole spacing.
Tight screw density on the distal and proximal ends with larger bridges near the center of the plate allows surgeons to fit more screws in the same footprint than competitive plates. Additional features designed to aid in proper plate placement include K-wire holes, variable-angle locking screws for the titanium lines, slide holes, and compression holes. OrthoLine plates can be contoured using size-specific bending irons and cannulated bending plugs, which can also function as K-wire holes in any locking screw hole.
In addition to the new OrthoLine fracture plates, the fracture management system includes a variety of screw options, including fully threaded headless compression screws, partially threaded screws, cannulated lag screws, low-profile screws, and QuickFix™ cannulated screws.
<ul>
 <li>High screw density where needed</li>
 <li>Slide and compression holes</li>
 <li>Strong plate for bridging</li>
 <li>Low plate contact and low profiled</li>
 <li>Color coded for easier identification</li>
 <li>K-wire holes</li>
 <li>Cortical/locking/variable-angle locking screws</li>
 <li>Indicated for sizes from small cats to large dogs</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Fracture System

The Arthrex OrthoLine™ distal femur osteotomy system incorporated surgeon input with key engineering features for an innovative design that is specific to small animal anatomy. The state-of-the-art plating line includes several key features.
&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li>Anatomic design</li>
 <li>High screw density where it's needed</li>
 <li>Specific screw trajectories</li>
 <li>Low plate-to-bone contact, tapered ends, and low profiled</li>
 <li>Color-coded for easy identification</li>
 <li>K-wire holes</li>
 <li>Cortical/locking/variable-angle locking screws</li>
 <li>Suture hole to facilitate soft-tissue closure and support</li>
</ul>

OrthoLine™ Distal Femur Osteotomy System

The Arthrex OrthoLine™ radial fracture plate system includes 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm sizes. Each plate is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy of patients within a given size range. The system is designed with multiplanar distal screw trajectories and proximal screws centrally aligned within the bone to improve screw pullout. The plates are thinner than a standard T-plate or straight plate, providing less soft tissue interference. The tubular bottom enables better conformity to the patient’s bone structure and increases the area moment of inertia. This unique design also includes a fracture-spanning bridge with a compression screw hole providing compression across the fracture site, bending plugs, and several k-wire holes to assist in preliminary placement. The plates are designed for a cranial-medial placement, but a cranial-lateral placement can be used with the contralateral side plate.
