We present our technique for maxillary distraction osteogenesis in patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia. With the use of an external, adjustable, rigid distraction device, we can now treat patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia with a precise and controlled distraction process, obtaining predictable results. This technique has allowed us to treat patients in all age groups. In this report we review our indications for maxillary distraction and describe our technique using an external, adjustable, rigid midface distraction device.
我们介绍了针对严重上颌骨发育不全患者的上颌骨牵张成骨技术。通过使用一种外部的、可调节的刚性牵张装置，我们现在能够以精确且可控的牵张过程治疗严重上颌骨发育不全的患者，从而获得可预测的效果。这项技术使我们能够治疗所有年龄段的患者。在本报告中，我们回顾了上颌骨牵张的适应症，并描述了使用外部可调节刚性面中部牵张装置的技术。
