Distraction osteogenesis is a technique of bone lengthening
developed by the late Dr. Ilizarov of Russia. It has been applied
to the lower extremities with amazing success for the correction of
non-unions following fractures as well as underdeveloped limbs. Dr.
McCarthy and his colleagues at NYU have developed techniques of
distracting various components of the craniofacial skeleton. These
techniques hold considerable promise for reconstructive surgery,
allowing the surgeon to make precise changes in the lenthening and
shape of the new craniofacial bone. This volume is the first book
of its kind, bringing together the pioneers of these revolutionary
new techniques. An international group of experts present their
clinical and laboratory experience with destraction of the cranial
vault, orbit, midface and zygoma, and mandible, as well as the
prinicples of distraction, biomechanics, and the physiology of bone
healing and remodeling. Two hundred illustrations elucidate the
techniques. This book is a must for all reconstructive plastic
surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and oral surgeons.
