Overview
A malunion planned from plain films becomes a judgment call once the saw is in your hand, and the correction you get is the correction you can see. This system replaces that judgment call with a plan you can hold. Tailor Surgery builds a digital twin from the CT, quantifies the deformity in three planes against the contralateral side where one is available, and turns the agreed plan into a guide that seats on the bone in one position only.
Reported planning-to-execution deviation is under 3° and 2 mm. That figure is the manufacturer's summary of the studies it cites, several of which evaluate patient-specific instrumentation in general rather than Tailor Surgery devices specifically.
The system is ordered in three levels. CORE is the diagnostic study from the medical images, the treatment proposal, and the 3D digital plan validated by the manufacturer's surgeons. ADVANCED adds the digital step-by-step surgical technique, the patient-specific guides, and the essential standard instrumentation for the procedure. EXCELLENCE adds the custom-made implant. The manufacturer's website describes the same three as 3D planning, 3D planning with custom-made guides, and 3D planning with custom-made guides and implants.
In Cyprus the case runs in four steps. The surgeon sends the CT and the case detail. A clinically validated, costed proposal comes back within 48 hours. OrganoGEN prepares and submits the individual GESY reimbursement application, and approval is secured before anything is manufactured. On approval the guides, any custom implant, the screw sets and the single-use instrumentation are delivered in one box for the case. OrganoGEN is the exclusive Cyprus distributor.
Indications & Contraindications
Indicated For
- Malunion of the distal radius, forearm, and other long bones, where the deformity is multiplanar
- Intra-articular wrist osteotomy, metacarpal osteotomy, trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty and carpal prosthesis
- Reverse shoulder arthroplasty, Latarjet, glenoid osteotomy and revision elbow arthroplasty
- Acetabular revision with bone loss, periacetabular osteotomy, and total hip arthroplasty planning
- Proximal tibial and distal femoral osteotomy for deformity around the knee
- Supramalleolar, calcaneal and forefoot osteotomy
- Posterior cervical and thoraco-lumbar spinal fusion
- Bone reconstruction with allograft or with a custom-made prosthesis after segmental loss
Contraindicated For
- Active local or systemic infection
- A CT to the manufacturer's protocol cannot be obtained
- Acute injuries that cannot wait for planning and manufacture

Clinical evidence
3D-planned corrective osteotomy for distal radius malunion, followed to a mean of 6 years.
Custom 3D-printed percutaneous guide against freehand scaphoid fixation. The source of the manufacturer's "up to 43% improvement in surgical time".
3D planning in upper-extremity surgery, from the laboratory this manufacturer grew out of.
Patient-specific instrumentation improved the accuracy of acetabular component placement.
Randomised comparison of patient-specific instruments against standard instruments for glenoid component position.
Patient-specific instrumentation reproduced the planned femoral tunnels accurately in multiple-ligament knee injuries.
The accuracy and surgical-time figures on this page are the manufacturer's summary of the studies above, several of which evaluate patient-specific instrumentation in general rather than Tailor Surgery devices specifically.
Nine documented cases across distal radius and forearm malunion, glenoid defect, tibial osteotomy, acetabular revision and limb reconstruction.
GESY Coverage & Pricing in Cyprus
There is no standard GESY code for a device made for one patient. Each case goes through an individual reimbursement application, which OrganoGEN prepares and submits once the surgeon has approved the proposed plan. Approval is secured before manufacturing begins, because a custom-made device cannot be cancelled once production starts.
For self-pay and international patients, the complete system is quoted up front at a fixed price for the case. We do not publish list prices, because the price depends on the level ordered and on what the plan requires. Surgeons can send a case and see the costed proposal within 48 hours, and you are committed to nothing by reviewing it.
