Distraction Osteogenesis Treatment in India

Distraction Osteogenesis in India

What is distraction osteogenesis?

DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS is a method of generating new bone from a small bone by cutting and slowly separating the bone. By allowing the natural bone healing process, a new bone grows to fill in the gap. In this procedure, surgeons use a special device called Distractor to separate the patient’s bone. It also has some screws called Pins to adjust and activate the device. These FDA-approved devices are of  Titanium, a lightweight metal and hence are completely hypoallergenic.

One such patient visited our hospital with a backwardly placed upper lip – a girl of sweet sixteen feeling disappointed with her appearance. Our team in RCDH planned for an anterior maxillary distraction.  We pulled the backwardly placed upper lip forward using a Distractor. She was under post-operative care for a couple of days, and after recovery, she took speech therapy. Finally, the patient left RDCH with complete satisfaction of her new look.
