[Temporo-mandibulary joint state after distraction osteogenesis use in cases of different genesis facial skeleton deformities elimination].
Distraction osteogenesis is one of the most often used methods for the treatment of craniofacial deformities. One of the clinical effects of the distraction is the tissue growth induction process in the conditions of its influence upon condylar process of mandible. Besides it distraction mandible osteosynthesis and active functional therapy stimulates neoarthrosis development in cases of temporo-mandibulary joint ankylosis. According to our opinion distraction osteogenesis as the technique for facial skeleton deformities elimination is indicated in cases of surgical treatment of joint ankylosis, deforming arthrosis for mandible size recovery and patients' functional rehabilitation.
