Morphology
cineplasty = plasty (opaque) = cine + plasty + cine
The prefix 'cine-' is not a common standalone word in English, and the specific medical meaning is not directly derivable from the components.
Etymology
Cineplasty joins cine- meaning 'move' (as in cinema, which shows movement) and -plasty meaning 'to shape' or 'form' (as in plastic surgery). So cineplasty is surgery that 'shapes movement' to help someone move better or control an artificial limb.
