An implantable brace for immobilizing a fracture and promoting
osteogenesis is placed in an osteotomy. The implantable brace may be
preformed or made by a method in which the implantable brace is cast from
a three-dimensional model of a patient's fractured bone in which a model
osteotomy designed by a surgeon has been cut. In a method for implanting
the brace in a patient, an osteotomy is formed in the patient's bone to
receive the implantable brace.
