  • Title: Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis.
    Author: Winters R, Tatum SA.
    Journal: Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am; 2014 Nov; 22(4):653-64. PubMed ID: 25444735.
    Abstract:
    Distraction osteogenesis (DO) may be the most versatile tool to become available to the craniofacial surgeon in recent years. It can be used in an ever-expanding register of clinical scenarios and offers major advantages over conventional craniofacial techniques in some circumstances. Craniofacial surgery has significant complications, some of which can be mitigated but not eliminated by choosing DO over conventional approaches. Although some DO applications are in their infancy with limited data, this article provides an overview of current uses of this versatile technology.
