Compression was evaluated using pressure-sensitive films (Prescale, Fujifilm, UK). Three 3.5-mm TPLO plates were tested according to the manufacturer guidelines for dynamic compression screws placement: Synthes, Arthrex, and Biocurve. Each plate was tested five times using a new bone model. The interfragmentary surface was divided into quadrants: Q1 (craniomedial), Q2 (craniolateral), Q3 (caudomedial), and Q4 (caudolateral). Compression was classified as low (&lt;0.12 MPa), moderate (0.12\u20130.25 MPa), or high (&gt;0.25 MPa).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Significant differences in overall interfragmentary compression were found among the plates (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The Biocurve plate generated the highest and most uniform compression (Q1: 0.285\u2009\u00b1\u20090.023 MPa; Q2: 0.304\u2009\u00b1\u20090.010 MPa; Q3: 0.220\u2009\u00b1\u20090.014 MPa; Q4: 0.237\u2009\u00b1\u20090.010 MPa). The Arthrex plate produced high compression in Q2 (0.292\u2009\u00b1\u20090.012 MPa) and moderate in other quadrants (Q1: 0.177\u2009\u00b1\u20090.016 MPa; Q3: 0.141\u2009\u00b1\u20090.011 MPa; Q4: 0.189\u2009\u00b1\u20090.013 MPa). The Synthes plate showed the lowest compression throughout (Q1: 0.050\u2009\u00b1\u20090.008 MPa; Q2: 0.075\u2009\u00b1\u20090.009 MPa; Q3: 0.111\u2009\u00b1\u20090.008 MPa; Q4: 0.109\u2009\u00b1\u20090.008 MPa).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The Biocurve plate, with two angled dynamic compression screw holes, provided the highest, most uniform compression.
