Distraction osteogenesis has emerged as an effective treatment modality for the correction of bone anomalies and abnormalities which are either pathological or developmental in origin. Earlier it was predominantly used in orthopaedics for the correction of axial skeleton. Its use in the field of dentistry began in the late twentieth century. Successful results from the initial clinical trials p...

متن کاملThe role of distraction osteogenesis in the management of craniofacial disorders.
Since its introduction in the medical literature in 1992 by McCarthy, distraction osteogenesis of the craniofacial skeleton has become a standard surgical therapy. The present report attempts to trace the development of craniofacial distraction from the perspective of one of the early proponents of the technique. Although the earliest application of distraction was in children with severe unila...
