MMP is a surgical technique for treatment of lameness caused by failure of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL).
Named after a human surgeon, Dr. P Maquet, the MMP is a form of TTA and uses a pure titanium foam wedge to advance and fix the tuberosity. The MMP was developed to make Tibial Osteotomy surgery more widely available to surgeons.
Course Agenda
Pathology and diagnosis of cranial cruciate ligament disease
Treatment options for CCL disease and meniscal injury
OrthoFoam™ – the bone ingrowth implant
MMP technique
Key steps of procedure
MMP variations
Difficult cases
Dealing with complications
MMP sawbone practical
MMP cadaver practical (course dependent)
The MMP procedure allows for short surgery time, short convalescence, can be more cost effective and outcomes are similar to those of TPLO*

RidgeStop™ is employed as an adjunct procedure when re-alignment operations such as tibial tuberosity transposition or much less commonly distal femoral ostectomy have been performed.
The aim of the surgery is to make sure that the patellar slides up and down within its groove, without slipping to one side or the other; the cause of discomfort and lameness.
Unlike other procedures for patellar luxation where the joint surface has to be cut, this is a much less traumatic procedure, as well as being more effective.
