Ostectomy Gap Filling

Score

New bone filling < 25% of ostectomy gap

1

New bone filling 25–50% of ostectomy gap

2

New bone filling 51–75% of ostectomy gap

3

New bone filling > 75% of ostectomy gap but not completely healed

4

Ostectomy gap filled completely and/or bridging callus present on all cortices
