His Ilizarov apparatus is still used today as one of the distraction osteogenesis methods.

If this is the case, facial bipartition can be combined with distraction osteogenesis.

A list of the possible uses of distraction osteogenesis are as follows:

By pulling at the site of a fracture in a process called distraction osteogenesis, they were able to grow bone in her face.

Distraction osteogenesis and minimal invasive endoscopic surgery are yet in experimental phase.

Over the past few years distraction osteogenesis has been gradually acknowledged since it has a positive effect on hypotelorism.

Corticotomy is particularly important in distraction osteogenesis.

Recently researchers have developed state-of-the-art software capable of simulating the entire process of distraction osteogenesis.

Distraction osteogenesis has the benefit of simultaneously increasing bone length and the volume of surrounding soft tissues.

His method and the apparatus he invented are the oldest and most common method of distraction osteogenesis.

Once the adult stage is reached, the only way to manipulate height is modifying bone length via distraction osteogenesis.

In distraction osteogenesis procedures involving the face, it is critical that bone movements be carefully planned before a device is implanted.

Ilizarov observed the callus formation and discovered distraction osteogenesis when one patient lengthened his frame instead of compressed it.

Limb lengthening methods extend the length of bones (height); either growth stimulators administration or surgical operations (distraction osteogenesis).

He is perhaps most well known for his contributions to the field of maxillofacial distraction osteogenesis and surgical correction of hemifacial microsomia.

In addition to being used to support a fractured limb, the Ilizarov frame is also commonly used to correct deformity through distraction osteogenesis.

Distraction osteogenesis (leg lengthening)

Breakthroughs in distraction osteogenesis in the 1990s, however, have resulted in less painful (albeit more expensive) alternatives, such as unilateral rails.

Dr. Gavril A. Ilizarov developed a groundbreaking surgical technique on distraction osteogenesis in the 1950s.

Distraction osteogenesis is an effective way to grow new bone, but it is much more difficult to accomplish in the face than in other areas of the body.

Amputation of the leg and a voice-compromising tracheotomy were considered, but ultimately averted using an Ilizarov apparatus and Distraction osteogenesis.

Ilizarov surgery, developed by Gavriil Ilizarov, a Russian orthopedic surgeon, in 1951, is the oldest and most common method of distraction osteogenesis.

Introduction to Distraction Osteogenesis by Dr. Martin Chin, D.D.S.

Difficulties that may arise during distraction osteogenesis are commonly classified in medical scientific literature according to the standard introduced by professor Dror Paley in a 1990 article.

After an accident where he suffered a broken leg, Mauri became the first Italian to undergo Gavril Ilizarov's bone-lengthening operation, distraction osteogenesis.
