Abstract
A bone plate is dimensioned for securing the rotated cut segment of an upper tibia to the lower portion of the tibia as part of a tibial leveling osteotomy procedure for an animal. The bone plate includes an elongated shaft, a head portion pre-bent with respect to the elongated shaft, and a transition between the elongated shaft and head portion including opposing concave sidewalls. The elongated shaft has a centerline and the pre-bent head portion has a centerline angled with respect to the centerline of the elongated shaft to dispose the elongated shaft collinear or approximately collinear with respect to the lower portion of the tibia and to better fit the head portion to the rotated cut segment of the upper tibia.
