Acute open callus manipulation: clinical experience with a new surgical technique for solving old problems in distraction osteogenesis

Transport distraction osteogenesis is challenged as a potential alternative to free-flap reconstruction of segmental jaw defects due to its longer treatment time, vector control difficulties, need for additional bone-grafting, and problems creating a curvilinear shape. We propose a new technique of acute open callus manipulation and fixation (AOCMF), which addresses these challenges.
