Ilizarov minimized complications by performing a corticotomy with minimal disruption of the surrounding blood supply and using a system of tension ring fixators to control the distraction in multiple planes. (medscape.com)
Through a series of experimental studies and clinical applications, Ilizarov established the foundation of distraction osteogenesis and its role in orthopedic management. (medscape.com)
In the 1950s, the Russian orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Gabriel Ilizarov slowly perfected the surgical and postoperative management of distraction osteogenesis treatment to correct deformities and repair defects of the arms and legs. (omfs4ni.com)
The concept of distraction osteogenesis (DO) was introduced by G. A. Ilizarov in the 1950s and knowledge of this method has added countless benefits to the treatment of a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, enabling bone lengthening, correction of angular deformities of the limbs, and correction of pseudarthrosis, as well as a technique for alveolar ridge augmentation 1 . (bvsalud.org)
This is a process called distraction osteogenesis and was perfected in Siberia during the Cold War by Professor Ilizarov with little transmission of this knowledge to the rest of the western world until the 1980's and 1990's. (louisvillelengthening.com)
Mandibular2
damage to the inferior alveolar nerve occurs in 3.5% of mandibular distraction, tooth bud injury in 2%, and facial nerve injury in 0.5% of cases. (wikipedia.org)
Conclusion: The application of low-level laser therapy following the irradiation protocol used in this study had a positive effect on the tissue repair process in a rabbit model of mandibular fracture and distraction osteogenesis, as shown by histological analysis. (bvsalud.org)
Orthopedic2
Distraction osteogenesis (DO), also called callus distraction, callotasis and osteodistraction, is a process used in orthopedic surgery, podiatric surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery to repair skeletal deformities and in reconstructive surgery. (wikipedia.org)
He was sent, without much orthopedic training, to look after injured Russian soldiers in Siberia in the 1950s. (poltekkes-pontianak.ac.id)
Procedure7
The procedure is also known as distraction osteogenesis and involves using a specialized device to gradually pull the bones apart, allowing new bone tissue to grow in the gap. (tallerisbetter.com)
Is the surgery for distraction osteogenesis more involved than "traditional surgery" for a similar procedure? (omfs4ni.com)
Most insurance companies will cover the cost of the osteogenesis surgical procedure provided that there is adequate and accurate documentation of the patients condition. (omfs4ni.com)
Since all distraction osteogenesis surgical procedures are done while the patient is under general anesthesia, pain during the surgical procedure is not an issue. (omfs4ni.com)
Distraction osteogenesis surgical procedures typically produce less pain and swelling than the traditional surgical procedure for a similar condition. (omfs4ni.com)
In some cases, a second minor office surgical procedure is necessary to remove the distraction appliance. (omfs4ni.com)
Skeleton5
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a relatively new method of treatment for selected deformities and defects of the oral and facial skeleton. (omfs4ni.com)
Since then, the surgical and technological advances made in the field of distraction osteogenesis have provided the oral and maxillofacial surgeons with a safe and predictable method to treat selected deformities of the oral and facial skeleton. (omfs4ni.com)
Drs. Anderson and Junck uses distraction osteogenesis to treat selected deformities and defects of the oral and facial skeleton. (omfs4ni.com)
Dr. Press or Dr. Silverman use distraction osteogenesis to treat selected deformities and defects of the oral and facial skeleton. (madisonaveoralsurgeon.com)
Dr. McCoy-Collins uses distraction osteogenesis to treat selected deformities and defects of the oral and facial skeleton. (capitoldental.net)
Bone10
In the third phase, the "distraction phase", the device, which is mounted to the bone on each side of the cut, is used to gradually separate the two pieces, allowing new bone to form in the gap. (wikipedia.org)
Distraction osteogenesis is a technique that relies on the normal healing process that occurs between controlled, surgically osteotomized bone segments. (medscape.com)
Simply stated, distraction osteogenesis means the slow movement apart (distraction) of two bony segments in a manner such that new bone is allowed to fill in the gap created by the separating bony segments. (omfs4ni.com)
Distraction osteogenesis eliminates the need for bone grafts, and therefore, another surgical site. (omfs4ni.com)
Can distraction osteogenesis be used instead of bone grafts to add bone to my jaws? (omfs4ni.com)
Recent advances in technology have provided the oral and maxillofacial surgeon with an easy to place and use distraction device that can be used to slowly grow bone in selected areas of bone loss that has occurred in the upper and lower jaws. (omfs4ni.com)
Adults require slightly longer period of distraction and consolidation because the bone regenerative capabilities are slightly slower than those of adolescence or infants. (omfs4ni.com)
Distraction osteogenesis eliminates the need for a second surgical site to harvest bone graft material. (advancedoms.com)
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy on tissue repair in the rabbit mandible after osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis, through histological analysis of the area of bone neoformation and measurement of the amount of neoformed bone. (bvsalud.org)
In 1948, Allan incorporated a screw device that more accurately controlled the rate of distraction. (medscape.com)
Activation of the distraction device to slowly separate the bones may cause some patients mild discomfort. (omfs4ni.com)
Facial1
Distraction osteogenesis was initially used to treat defects of the oral and facial region in 1990. (omfs4ni.com)
Segments1
Lastly, distraction osteogenesis is associated with greater stability when used in major cases where significant movement of bony segments are involved. (omfs4ni.com)
Site1
Methods: Twenty-four male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly allocated into one of two groups: experiment (laser applied directly over the site of fracture and distraction osteogenesis) or control (non-irradiated animals). (bvsalud.org)
Method1
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a relatively new method of treatment for selected deformities and defects of the jaw and skull. (advancedoms.com)
Benefits1
What are the benefits of distraction osteogenesis vs. traditional surgery for a similar condition? (omfs4ni.com)
Protocol1
Distraction osteogenesis was performed according to the following protocol: 3 days of latency, 7 days of activation (0.8 mm/day), and 10 days of consolidation. (bvsalud.org)
Phase1
In general, the younger the patient the shorter the distraction time and the faster the consolidation phase. (omfs4ni.com)
Basis1
No. Distraction osteogenesis surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis with most of the patients going home the same day of surgery. (omfs4ni.com)
