Treatment including occlusal function is important for maxillofacial fractures. Because distraction osteogenesis is now used frequently for the treatment of various types of congenital maxillary hypoplasia, the authors applied this technique to six cases of traumatic maxillofacial deformity caused by old maxillofacial fractures. Several kinds of devices were used for the various deformities associated with severe malocclusion, resulting in extension of both bone and soft tissues. In each case, favorable facial aesthetics and occlusion were achieved. Distraction osteogenesis also appears to be an extremely effective method for repair of traumatic maxillofacial deformities.
包括咬合功能的治疗对于颌面骨折很重要。由于牵张成骨目前常用于治疗各种类型的先天性上颌骨发育不全，作者将该技术应用于6例陈旧性颌面骨折所致的创伤性颌面畸形病例。针对与严重错牙合相关的各种畸形使用了几种装置，从而实现了骨组织和软组织的延长。在每个病例中，均获得了良好的面部美观和咬合效果。牵张成骨似乎也是修复创伤性颌面畸形的一种极其有效的方法。
