Abstract
A simple bone-positioning technique is reported, using a combination of bone plates and a flexible tube filled with acrylic polymer. The flexible tube is solidified by injection of acrylic monomer. This technique is applicable for bone positioning after mandibular resection as well as positioning of the proximal segment after sagittal split ramus osteotomy. This technique has the advantages of greater simplicity and flexibility compared to previously reported methods of bone positioning.
