[The range of craniosynostosis - timing and techniques of craniofacial repair]

7 Sep 2009 Craniofacial anomalies show a wide spectrum of phenotypes and imply functional and esthetic disfigurement above all in cases of syndromal patients. The development in the field of craniofacial surgery during the last decades has brought us a system ... Read more...

Maxillary expansion in customized finite element method models.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: The aims of this study were to develop a method for constructing a 3-dimensional finite-element model (FEM) of the maxilla and to evaluate the effects of transverse expansion on the status of various midpalatal sutures. METHODS: A ... Read more...

Le Fort III distraction: Part I. Controlling position and vectors of the midface segment.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the response of the osteotomized Le Fort III midface bony segment to variations in the location and direction, or vector, of force application on using the rigid external distraction ... Read more...
