UniPlasty – Jack it up! - Precise control, better alignment… UniPlasty is a modern surgical method developed for restoring proper alignment in the lower limb by utilizing anteriorly approached hinged fixators like UniX Metaphyseal Hinge Fixator. Corrections can be made postoperatively, while weight bearing, without reintervention—delivering a joint-preserving, minimally invasive solution for deformity correction.
Why UniPlasty? Jack It Up—Literally. The UniPlasty concept is built around the idea of controlled elevation and correction at the metaphyseal region. With its adjustable hinge mechanism, surgeons can gradually “jack up” the alignment—fine-tuning angular and translational positioning in real time.
Precise Control Using gradual correction technique, UniPlasty enables correction as needed. Corrections can be made postoperatively, while weight bearing, without reintervention.
Who is it for? UniPlasty is ideal for patients with knee malalignment who: - Want to preserve their native joint and avoid permanent implants. - Are active, younger or middle-aged adults seeking a less invasive option. - Prefer a discreet, adjustable solution with reduced surgical trauma and better cosmetic outcomes.
Smart Fixation, Adaptive Strategy This method skips plates and internal implants in favor of external fixation, reducing surgical trauma and preserving soft tissues. And if alignment needs tweaking during recovery? UniPlasty® has your back—no need for a second surgery.
No plates. No screws. No leftovers. UniPlasty leaves nothing behind—no permanent implants, no second surgery for hardware removal. What remains is native bone, fully healed and functionally restored.
Better Alignment, Stronger Function! By restoring mechanical axis and load distribution, UniPlasty® helps preserve the native joint and delay degenerative progression—especially critical for active or younger patients.
HTO Survivorship Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) demonstrates satisfactory 10-year survivorship, with a rate of approximately 87.1%, when used to treat medial compartment knee osteoarthritis and varus malalignment. While some patients may eventually require a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the procedure can significantly delay or even avoid the need for a knee replacement in younger, active patients.
The UniPlasty Philosophy
Plan the correction, adjust the alignment over time, Get patients back to normal daily living faster. Not just a fixator, not just a method—UniPlasty® is a mindset:
Jack it up! Precise control, better alignment… That’s UniPlasty.
