It is used to fix the bones of a body into a single plane so they don't move and repair in the right position. If you brake your leg and the brake is complex with many parts a uniplane fixation device is used to put everything in place and keep it there while the bone or bones repair.

It can be identified as an odd amalgam of metal rods sticking out of a leg or arm with other rods connecting each of the protruding rods together. The rods that protrude from the surface of the body part are screwed into the bone, so there is a wound where the rod enters the body and needs constant attention. The device is taken off after a few months when the bone or bones have recovered.
