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. The bone fixation plate has a distal expanse configured to overlay the proximal section of the tibia along the length of the tibia. The distal expanse has a plurality of mounting holes to fix the distal expanse to the proximal section of the tibia. The bone fixation plate also has a proximal expanse configured to overlay the tibial metaphysis, the proximal expanse having a plurality of mounting holes; radially spaced apart substantially equidistant from a center point.
