  • Title: Multivectorial, external halo-assisted midface distraction in patients with severe hypoplasia.
    Author: Malagon HH, Romo GW, Quintero Mosqueda FR, Magaña FG.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2008 Nov; 19(6):1663-9. PubMed ID: 19098577.
    Abstract:
    Osteogenesis distraction is an increasingly used technique for the correction of facial deformities because it offers a faster and more controlled growth of the hypoplasic bone along with the elongation of the soft tissues. In this article, we describe the technique and our experience in midface distraction using an external multivectoral distraction device (BLUE Device; W. Lorenz, Jacksonville, FL) and custom-made midface osteotomies for the correction of severe hypoplasia.
