Stability, adaptation and growth following distraction osteogenesis in the craniofacial region.

30 Jul 2009 The objective of the study was to provide a comprehensive review of the literature describing research done on the stability, adaptation and growth of craniofacial structures following distraction osteogenesis (DO). The design of the study was a ... Read more...

Morphological integration of the skull in craniofacial anomalies.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES - To understand how surgical interventions impact the organization and internal integration of the major components of the skull, we address the functional and developmental relationships during perinatal development. METHODS - A number ... Read more...

Le Fort III bipartition osteotomy to treat a rare craniofacial anomaly: frontofacionasal dysostosis.

29 Jun 2009 Frontofacionasal dysplasia or dysostosis (Mendelian Inheritance in Man 229400) is composed of cranial, ophthalmic, nasal, and lip and palate deformities. It is a rare and separate entity because it contains none of the extracranial defects seen in ... Read more...
