Tailored for Steep Tibial plateau angles
Precision Approach to CCL Injuries
Cranial Closing Wedge Osteotomy (CCWO) is a biomechanical procedure that involves reshaping the proximal tibia (near the knee joint) by removing a wedge-shaped section of bone. This changes the tibial plateau angle (TPA) to neutralize the abnormal forward motion of the tibia, known as tibial thrust, which occurs during weight-bearing in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries.
While other surgical options like Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) and Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) are commonly used, CCWO offers unique advantages in specific scenarios:
- Ideal for dogs with extremely steep tibial plateau angles.
- Suitable for patients where other procedures might not adequately address anatomical variations.
- Provides a robust and long-lasting solution for stifle stabilization.
The CCWO Advantage: Precision for Steep TPAs and Juvenile Patients
CCWO is a straightforward technique that uses precise linear cuts, making it an ideal option for juvenile patients as it avoids the growth plates, ensuring proper bone development. This method is particularly effective for dogs with steep tibial plateau angles, providing a reliable solution where other surgical techniques may struggle. By realigning the tibia and reducing tibial thrust, CCWO restores stability to the stifle joint, offering a long-lasting outcome even in challenging cases. Its simplicity and precision make it a versatile choice for a variety of patients.
Anatomically Shaped Limited Contact Dynamic Compression Plates
The LeiLOX CCWO plates are precisely contoured to match the bone's natural shape, ensuring optimal placement and enhanced stability. Featuring limited contact dynamic compression, the plate minimizes vascular damage to the bone, promoting improved blood flow and supporting faster healing.
Multiaxial Locking for Precision and Flexibility in Fixation
The screws are designed to be locked at a 90° angle with up to a 12° deviation in any direction, offering exceptional flexibility in positioning. This capability allows screws to be angled strategically away from vital structures, reducing the risk of injury to surrounding tissues. Additionally, the robust LeiStar screw head securely locks into the plate, providing a firm and stable fixation, ensuring the plate's integrity and the success of the surgical procedure.
Interchangeable Screws: Flexibility and cost-efficiency
Versatility meets efficiency with the LeiLOX CCWO System, offering interchangeable compatibility across screw sizes and plates within the 2.7/3.5mm and 2.0/2.4mm CCWO, CBLO, and TPLO Titanium Systems. Featuring identical screw heads, the screws offers unprecedented flexibility in implant selection (within their respective systems), tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Moreover, this interchangeability streamlines inventory management, reducing costs and optimizing resource utilization.
Titanium for Optimal Biocompatibility
LeiLOX CCWO implants are made from medical-grade titanium, offering several key benefits: exceptional biocompatibility, ensuring optimal tolerance by the body and minimizing the risk of adverse reactions; superior strength and durability, providing reliable support during the healing process and long-term stability; and outstanding corrosion resistance, making them ideal for long-term implantation while maintaining their integrity over time.
