An implantable brace for immobilizing a fracture and promoting osteogenesis is placed in an osteotomy. The implantable brace may be preformed or made by a method in which the implantable brace is cast from a three-dimensional model of a patient's fractured bone in which a model osteotomy designed by a surgeon has been cut. In a method for implanting the brace in a patient, an osteotomy is formed in the patient's bone to receive the implantable brace.
