2. Minimally invasive surgery offers smaller incisions and the patient has a shorter hospital stay.
3. Application of distraction osteogenesis theory and Wolff’s law in product design to achieve shorter bone healing time and earlier full weight bearing after surgery.
4. Correction is more precise through phased external adjustment postoperatively.
5. Pins can be removed in phases to provide bone stimulation.
6. Pin is easily removed, if pin site infection is incurred.
7. Secondary surgery for removal of implant is unnecessary and easy to convert from HTO to TKA.
