Callus distraction, or distraction osteogenesis as the method also is called, is a new surgical technique which makes it possible to create new bone by bone elongation. The method was originally used in orthopedic surgery to extend long bones but has subsequently proved useful for extending the mandible as well as other bones in the facial skeleton. By callus distraction, it is now possible to treat severe jaw anomalies and also to treat bone defects in the jaws without bone transplantation. This article describes the biological background to the method and the basic principles that must be observed for successful results. The treatment of four patients illustrates the method.
