Wherein, when the fixed and moveable footplates are attached to the respective first and second bone surfaces, a bottom portion of the housing member is proximate to the first and second bone surfaces, and the side portion is further from the bone surfaces than the bottom portion in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. Methods of assembling and installing the exemplary pediatric mandibular distractor summarized above are also disclosed.
