Damage of the cranial cruciate ligament is a frequent cause of limb lameness in dogs. The aim of the study  was to present the usefulness of a new guide for the blade of the oscillating saw in the Cranial Tibial Wedge  Osteotomy (CTWO) technique. CTWO procedures using a proprietary triangular guide were performed on  62 dogs of both sexes. Radiological evaluation of the formation of bone scars in the Hammer scale showed that  3 months after the surgery most patients had a solid 2nd or 3rd degree of osteotomy consolidation. Lameness  rating by the Functional Stifle Scale showed an improvement in the clinical condition of the dogs. This was  reflected in the opinions of the owners expressed in Canine Brief Pain Inventory questionnaires, as presented  in the chart. Values of the Pearson and Kendall correlation coefficients and statistical significance coefficients  confirmed the relationship between the owners’ satisfaction and the results of the therapy and improvement in  clinical trials. The triangular guide of the oscillating saw blade facilitates the transfer of the osteotomy angle  determined on a digital radiogram onto the operating field, ensures precise orthogonal osteotomy incisions in  the course of CTWO, significantly affects the time of callus formation, and accelerates the recovery of limb  function.
