Methods and systems related to tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) procedures are discussed herein. A disclosed set of TPLO surgical implements includes a surgical guide having a drill guide and an osteotomy guide. The drill guide has a distal guide screw hole and a proximal guide screw hole. The set of surgical implements also includes a bone plate having a distal bone plate screw hole and a proximal bone plate screw hole. The drill guide and the bone plate are complementary in that the distal guide screw hole and the proximal guide screw hole are aligned with a planned pre-operative orientation of a planned distal bone screw location and a planned proximal bone screw location, and the distal bone plate screw hole and the proximal bone plate screw hole are aligned with a planned post-operative orientation of the planned distal bone screw location and the planned proximal bone screw location.
