Gunshot wounds of the lower face are a challenge for the surgeon. Customized distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a well-established procedure for managing facial gunshot wounds. However, differences between the preoperative planning and postoperative outcomes are often noted. This multi-centre, retrospective study was performed to analyse the differences between the planning and outcomes for the lower third of the face, in patients undergoing the computer-assisted repair of mandible gunshot wounds using patient-specific distraction devices.
