TTA offers the fastest return to function of all cruciate disease treatments. However, TTA can be daunting for many veterinarians starting on their orthopaedic journey. At OssAbility, we have removed the learning curve by creating a configurable TTA Guide that gives you precise control of the osteotomy position, length and tibial crest thickness to help you perform TTA with confidence. Learn how to perform Guided TTA using a patient-specific preoperative plan provided by OssAbility’s Decision Support service, as well as how to assess the meniscus and perform a
mini-arthrotomy.
