A bone fixation plate and methods are disclosed for performing an optimally centered tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. The optimally centered osteotomy produces a curvilinear cut separating a section of the tibia comprising the tibial metaphysis from a proximal section of the tibia, such that the curvilinear cut has a radial center point above the tibial plateau along the long axis of the tibia, and preferably in relation to the intersection of the cruciate ligaments. An osteotomy template is also disclosed for aiding osteotomy procedures. |
