Sandwich osteotomy is a technique for vertical augmentation based on the principle of a graft being placed between two pedicled native bones. The inherent vascularization helps in graft consolidation. The aim is to review the bone height gained, implant survival and pitfalls with sandwich osteotomy. The PICO model was used to identify the suitable studies for the review. Oxford level of evidence, Newcastle Ottawa Scale and Cochrane's tool for Systematic Reviews of Interventions was applied for identifying study quality. Meta-analysis was performed with the help of RevMan. Funnel plot was used to evaluate publication bias and bias during article selection. Difference in means was used as principal summary measure. Fixed effects model with inverse variance statistics was used. I2test statistics was applied to identify study heterogeneity. Forest plots were produced for the outcome variables with 95% confidence interval (CI) and overall treatment effects and subgroup effects at a significance level of 0.05. The overall implant survival rate ranged from 90%-100% and prosthetic survival rate from 87%-95%. An overall 6-10mm of bone can be gained in the anterior mandible and 4-8mm in the posterior mandible. A total of 1030 implants were placed of which 988 implants survived after the mean follow up periods (odds ratio: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.49-1.21). Implant survival is independent of the graft being used. Vertical augmentation in the posterior mandible is limited compared to anterior owing to the presence of inferior alveolar nerve and the keratinized tissue deficiency.

Background: Lower facial asymmetry often results in an esthetically unpleasing appearance. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel method for correcting lower facial asymmetry using mandibular augmentation with sandwich bone grafts from the contralateral mandibular outer cortex (MOC), and to evaluate the efficacy of this method using computer-assisted techniques.
Methods: The medical records of 16 patients with lower facial asymmetry who underwent mandibular augmentation with sandwich bone grafts from the contralateral MOC between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- The study reviews the effectiveness of a comprehensive surgery approach called CTAC for treating alveolar clefts, using the mandible as the bone source.
- The CTAC protocol involves preoperative orthodontics, unique bone grafting techniques, and strong internal fixation to stabilize the bone block.
- Results show that 90.7% of 54 patients had successful outcomes, with minimal surgical trauma and a stable success rate, indicating the method's potential for wider use.
Modified Low-Flow Arthroscopic Sandwich Technique for Complex Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus.

Treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus proves to be challenging given the unique anatomy of the intra-articular surface and associated complexity of larger lesions. Simple bone marrow-stimulating procedures for large complex lesions often lead to poor results with increased risk of lesion progression, refractory pain, and associated functional limitations. Other methods of osteochondral autografts or allografts often require osteotomies, bone windows, or fibrin glue, which are associated with donor pain and nonunion.

Background And Objectives: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) with fixed sagittal malalignment (FSM) may require a pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for greater focal lordosis and restoration of global alignment. Despite growing trends in minimizing PSOs given their associated high risks, a considerable portion of patients with ASD still require a lumbar PSO most commonly because of iatrogenic flat back deformity. The purpose of this article is to describe a modified extended PSO technique with additional anterior column support coined the "sandwich" extended PSO (SE-PSO) to promote arthrodesis and report the outcomes in a consecutive case series.
