| Abstract: | Multiple closing wedge osteotomies of the straight fibula bone are necessary to recreate the three-dimensional shape of the mandible or maxilla. These osteotomies have traditionally been accomplished using templates based upon a preoperative CT scan and lateral cephalogram of the patient. Alternatively, using a virtual platform, computer-assisted design and modeling in combination with additive printing have also been utilized. Each technique has pros and cons, so it is important for reconstructive surgeons to be familiar with both methods. The current chapter describes how to perform osteotomies using either technique. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. |
