✅ Successful Correction with UniPlasty®️ — 19-Year-Old Male Patient

As part of the training program we organized for our esteemed guests visiting from the United States, we had the opportunity to observe once again the well-known and expected clinical outcomes of the UniPlasty®️ technique on a 19-year-old male patient.

Following a 6-day waiting period, a 9-day gradual correction was initiated, during which the patient’s mechanical axis was perfectly realigned.

Throughout the correction phase, the patient was fully weight bearing and able to continue with his daily living activities. An asymptomatic and stable clinical course was observed during the entire process.

With the continued follow-up of the healing process, the plan is to remove the device under local anesthesia upon completion of the 8–12 week recovery period.

At the end of this process, we expect the patient to:
✔️ Be completely free of pain
✔️ Have a cosmetically corrected lower limb structure
✔️ Return to daily life as before
✔️ No hardware left behind

LON: A Functional, Aesthetic, and Accessible Solution in Limb Lengthening

Over the years, various techniques have been developed in limb lengthening surgery. Among these, LON (Lengthening Over Nail) offers significant advantages in terms of both surgical effectiveness and patient satisfaction:

•⁠ ⁠Short external fixator time allows for early mobilization and minimal social restriction.
•⁠ ⁠Intramedullary nail support ensures axis/rotation control and delivers cosmetic outcomes comparable to fully internal systems.
•⁠ ⁠Cost-effectiveness makes this treatment more accessible to a wider range of patients.

As one of the first certified Fitbone surgeons in Turkey, I have also been among the pioneers in applying both internal lengthening nails and the LON technique. I’ve contributed to its scientific development through publications and training, and have had the opportunity to observe its clinical success in thousands of limb lengthening and reconstruction cases.

The most suitable surgical approach must always be tailored to the individual needs of each patient. LON remains a strong option in this spectrum — offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.

We assess our patients at my private clinic and also at Acıbadem Maslak Hospital, home to the International Joint Center (IJC), where we provide effective solutions for complex orthopedic challenges — always working to create a safe and predictable roadmap for each case.

Bugün Uniplasty eksternal fiksatörü ile tibia vara tanılı bir hastaya düzeltici osteotomi yaptık. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nden gelen beş misafirimiz çok memnun ayrıldılar. Cerrahi teknik ayrıntılarını ayrıca paylaşacağım.
Today, we performed tibia vara deformity correction with the Uniplasty fiksator. Our five visitors from USA are very satisfied with the technique and device.
