INNOVATION MEETING PATIENT NEEDS
Knee osteotomy is used at an early-stage osteoarthritis that has damaged just
one side of the knee joint, mainly for young patient (less than 55 years old). By
shifting the weight off of the damaged side of the joint, an osteotomy can relieve
pain and significantly improve function in the arthritic knee.

By preserving patient knee anatomy, a successful osteotomy may delay the need
for a joint replacement for several years. Another advantage is that there are
no restrictions on physical activities after an osteotomy - patient will be able to
comfortably participate in its favorite activities, and return to normal mobility.
Knee osteotomy has three goals:

To transfer weight from the arthritic part of the

knee to a healthier area
To correct poor knee alignment
To prolong the life span of the knee joint
FlexitSystem is the righ solution to preserve knee anatomy and postpone the
need of total joint replacement.

EXCEPTIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND STURDINESS

The plates have an innovative

design and are made of Titanium.
This ensures an excellent behavior
towards effort and mechanical
stress. Resistance and security are
increased.

ADVANTAGES OF TITANIUM
Titanium is bio-compatible and has a high mechanical resistance.
Elasticity: titanium elastic properties allow absorption of mechanical stress in order to maintain the
angular correction in a lasting way.
Resistance: Medical grades of titanium have a significantly higher strength to weight ratio than stainless steel.
