  THE UNIVERSAL MINI EXTERNAL FIXATOR  
     
  While external fixation has made rapid advancements in the management of open injuries and correction of deformities of the long bones, there has been a perceptible void in the development of mini fixator systems which contribute to the comprehensive management of trauma and deformities of the hands and feet.  
     
  UMEX™, the Universal Mini External Fixator, a comprehensive, modular system, proven to successfully address a wide range of indications related to instability and deformity, has evolved over more than ten years of research, clinical application and constant refinement by a dedicated team of Indian orthopaedic surgeons supported by the Adler product development team.   
     
  The UMEX™ system uses the K-wire as the anchoring device of choice. Schanz screws or threaded pins have a propensity to wind up soft tissues. Any attempt to unwind these tissues is accompanied by the inevitable backing out of the schanz screw. Further, dense cortical bone encountered in the diaphyseal areas of small bones necessitates pre-drilling for threaded anchoring devices.  
     
   
 

Innovatively designed low-profile clamping elements allow the operating surgeon to effectively manage most clinically unstable situations in the hand.

  
     
   
  Percutaneous or open surgical correction of talipes equino varus has been widely reported to be associated with extensive scarring resulting in the weakening of crucial muscle groups, vital for locomotion.  
     
  The UMEX™ club foot frame is capable of addressing complex three dimensional multi-axial deformities by fractional differential distraction to achieve progressive sequential correction. It has
been noted that the correction achieved is maintained with growth and associated with remodelling of the skeletal elements.
