Cold ablation laser osteotomy seems to be a feasible new method to perform osteotomies in the field of hand-, wrist- and forearm surgery. Primary osseous stability could be achieved using various cutting patterns which could lead to reduction of the amount of hardware required for osteosynthesis. Further tests are required to proof the latter and precision.
