Background The second generation of the bonebridge (BB) is widely used even in younger children. Preoperative imaging often reveals only small areas in which the FMT (4.5mm) or screws (2.5mm) can be fully and safely inserted. The use of navigation systems can enable precise placement of the device and prevent potential complications such as dural or vascular injuries. The most recent release of the preoperative planning software Otoplan enables the user to not only assess the bone thickness, but also to virtually implant the patient and export models of the implanted BB.
