Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop modified locking TPLO plate and evaluate the effectiveness of bone stabilization provided by the implant developed compared with other two methods of conventional bone fixation (locking plate and locking plate associated with intramedullary pin). Through of biomechanical studies will be verified which construction is more resistant to rotational, bending and axial forces in proximal gap in canine synthetic tibia. The modified TPLO plate that will be developed in this study, after studies, it will can be used in a minimally invasive surgery allowing the insertion of a greater number of screws in the proximal fragment, through a small surgical approach. Sixty synthetic tibiae are used which will be divided into three groups. Group 1 (modified TPLO plate) will be subdivided into four groups of five tibias, G1FMD (mediolateral bending), G1FCD (caudocranial bending), G1R (rotation) and G1A (axial loading). Similarly the Group 2 (locking plate) is subdivided into four groups of five tibia, G2FMD (mediolateral bending), G2FCD (caudocranial bending), G2R (rotation) and G2A (axial loading) and Group 3 (locking plate associated with intramedullary pin) subdivided into four groups of five tibia, G3FMD (mediolateral bending), G3FCD (caudocranial bending), G3R (rotation) and G3A (axial loading). Testing should be performed until assembly failure (implants and/or tibia). The data will be submitted to normality test and evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the 5% significance. (AU)
