Cephalometric evaluation of patients treated by maxillary anterior segmental distraction

Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies, 2018
Background: Maxillary hypoplasia secondary to repaired cleft lips and palates is common. The extent of hypoplasia is dependent on several factors. It is not possible to correct maxillary hypoplasia by conventional orthodontics and relapse is common after

Mechanotransduction and musculoskeletal regeneration: Molecular mechanisms and interdisciplinary applications

Genes and Diseases
Distraction osteogenesis, or the Illizarov technique, induces bone regeneration using distractive mechanical forces. Nevertheless, Wolff's law holds that bone adapts to reverse compressive mechanical loads, growing denser in areas of high pressure and ...

Bone regeneration during osteoporosis: a translational in vivo monitoring of callus mechanical parameters

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionRegenerating osteoporotic bone remains challenging due to healing complications such as non-unions. Distraction osteogenesis is a promising technique for bone repair, but its efficacy under osteoporotic conditions is poorly understood.
