A bone distractor device and method of bone distraction in osteogenesis, the bone distractor having releasable bone plates, created using computer-aided design to conform to the surface of a bone, attached to a distraction mechanism, wherein the distractor device is affixed to the bone, the distraction mechanism is removed from the bone plates, the osteotomy is performed using a guide edge provided on at least one of the bone plates, and the distraction mechanism is re-attached to the bone plates such that distraction can be initiated.

Customized bone distraction method, device and system

A force adjustable spring distractor device having an elongated, relatively thin guide plate, a force adjusting rod member having first and second oppositely threaded portions, first and second anchor bodies mounted on the guide plate and the threaded portions of the rod, first and second distractor bodies mounted on the guide plate and the rod, and first and second distraction springs connecting the anchor bodies to the distractor bodies, whereby rotation of the force adjusting rod results in separation of the anchor bodies and elongation of the distraction springs, thereby imparting a separation force to the distractor bodies.
