Timeline of distraction osteogenesis (DO) and accordion technique (AT) procedures following osteotomy surgery at day 0. All groups underwent a standard distraction phase of 0.2 mm/12 h, except Group 2, which underwent the AT during the distraction phase. Groups 3 and 4 underwent the AT during the consolidation phase at days 15–25 and 25–35 post-osteotomy, respectively. Timing of the in vivo microCT scans and histology analysis is indicated by arrows.
