The tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and tibial tuberosity advancement are two of the most common osteotomy procedures performed in the United States. Recovery is often 6–8 weeks and the osteotomy can be filled with autologous bone grafts, scaffolds (hydroxyapatite, TR Matrix, etc.) or ceramics. [14]
Tibial tuberosity advancement; Tightrope CCL; Triple tibial osteotomy; Simitri Stable in Stride; Cranial tibial wedge osteotomy; A systematic review of the evidence has shown that "…functional recovery in the intermediate postoperative time period was superior following TPLO compared with lateral extracapsular suture."

Moreover, UKAs may require a smaller incision, less tissue damage, and faster recovery times. [2] In the United States, the procedure constitutes approximately 8% of knee arthroplasties. [4] In comparisons with a more extensive surgical procedure called high tibial osteotomy, UKA has equal or better outcomes. [1] [5]
The triple tibial osteotomy has been developed as a hybrid of two previously available orthopaedic procedures, the tibial tuberosity advancement and the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. The tibial tuberosity advancement neutralises shear force within the stifle by advancing the tibial tuberosity until the tibial plateau is at right angles to ...
This reduces recovery time and may increase the rate of success due to less trauma to the connective tissue. It has gained popularity due to evidence of faster recovery times with less scarring, because of the smaller incisions. [1] Irrigation fluid (most commonly 'normal' saline) is used to distend the joint and make a surgical space.
