This article explains how the underlying mechanism that regulates bone physiology can be recruited to improve the response to surgical healing and presents the theoretical basis of this treatment method. Modern investigators have revealed the likely anatomic pathways through which this system operates. A specific set of rules can be defined to guide surgeons to design procedures that have the optimum potential for a successful outcome. These cases demonstrate that if this treatment method is followed, successful healing can be achieved.
