Description
TPLO offers the best long-term outcome of all cruciate disease treatments. However, due to its complexity, traditional TPLO can be out of reach for many veterinarians.
At OssAbility, the learning curve has been removed by creating a TPLO Guide that gives you precise control of the osteotomy position and rotation correction, as well as a patient-specific preoperative plan provided by our specialist-backed Decision Support service, so you can perform TPLO surgery with confidence.

Speaker Biography
Dr. Jack Davey BVetBiol/BVetSc (Hons I), MANZCVS (SAS), Dip ECVS (SA)
Jack graduated from Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, with first class Honours for his research on bone healing and also received the ‘Bruce Christie Surgical Prize’ for a high level of aptitude and clinical skills in small animal surgery during the veterinary course.
He then started his career as a mixed animal veterinarian working in Launceston, Tasmania where his passion for surgery strengthened. In 2018, Jack was awarded the NVC’s ‘Best Recent Graduate’ award for his work in veterinary clinics across Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia with both large and small animals. During this time he became familiar with the TTA OssAbility system treating many lame dogs with this technique.
Jack moved to Canberra in 2021 where he completed a surgical internship and residency at Animal Referral Hospital and now resides in Brisbane where he works at Veterinary Specialist Services. He has a strong interest in neurosurgery, surgical oncology, and soft tissue surgery, but aims to be involved in all aspects of veterinary surgery.
+/- In addition to surgery Jack enjoys the process of research and has published articles on oral reconstructive techniques, a unique colonic injury, CT assessment of bone healing, and negative pressure wound therapy devices.
