The procedures used to correct large discrepancies in the length of the mandibular body are described and experimental results are reported. The technique is realized using an orthodontic applicance that permits the progressive lengthening, after osteotomy of the mandibular body and also retains the approximation of the resected mandibular segments. Two dogs were used for the experimentation, achieving mandibular body lengthening of 5 and 15 millimeters. The bone neoformation was studied hystologically by means of microradiography and tetracyclines induced fluorescence. The surgical technique was carried out without damage to the mandibular nerve. The hystological examination shows no conspicous alteration of the nerve fibres.
描述了用于纠正下颌骨体长度巨大差异的手术步骤，并报告了实验结果。该技术通过一种正畸矫治器实现，该矫治器在下颌骨体截骨术后允许渐进性延长，并且还能保持切除的下颌骨段的贴合。使用两只狗进行实验，下颌骨体延长了5毫米和15毫米。通过显微放射摄影和四环素诱导荧光对骨新生进行了组织学研究。手术技术的实施未损伤下颌神经。组织学检查显示神经纤维无明显改变。
