Application of distraction osteogenesis to the human craniofacial skeleton in properly selected cases represents a major advance in the treatment of craniofacial deformities. We report our initial clinical experience with a system of miniature distraction devices that permitted maxillary, orbital, and mandibular distraction in a 4-month-old boy with unilateral craniofacial microsomia and anophthalmia. At 6 months of age, after maxillary repositioning and orbital expansion, a costochondral rib graft was used to construct the missing left mandibular ramus and condyle.
在适当选择的病例中，牵张成骨技术应用于人类颅面骨骼代表了颅面畸形治疗的一项重大进展。我们报告了我们对一名4个月大患有单侧颅面短小畸形和无眼畸形的男孩使用微型牵张装置系统进行上颌、眼眶和下颌牵张的初步临床经验。在6个月大时，在上颌重新定位和眼眶扩张后，使用肋软骨移植来构建缺失的左下颌支和髁突。
