Basically they insert a small plate that create an electric pulsed current and it causes symmetrical bone growth. This is pretty crazy. I will be digging further so see if this could be applied to the femur or clavicle. Here is the study:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8831273/
"Cephalometric controls taken 3 to 6 months after Modulator removal showed an average increase in mandible length of 5.26mm (range, 2.83–7.60mm) and of vertical curve of 23.5mm (range from 22 to 25mm), (Figs. (Figs.5,5, ,6,6, ,7,7, ,8,8, ,9,9, ,10,10, ,11,11, ,12,12, ,13).13). The average increase in soft tissue projection was 90% of the thickness of “added” bone length 4.7 mm (range, 2.5–6.8mm). After 39 months, clinical results were maintained, with no clinical evidence of bone resorption or complications. All patients preserved a normal pretreatment occlusion."
