Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Orthognathic surgery
  • Biomaterials engineering

Background:

  • Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical technique for gradual bone lengthening.
  • Historically applied to the mandible, it's now crucial for midface lengthening in pediatric craniofacial deformities.
  • Both external and internal devices facilitate midface distraction.

Observation:

  • The development of a Modular Internal Distraction (MID) system is presented.
  • This system allows for customized, internal, and buried distraction devices.
  • It enables widespread application throughout the craniofacial region.

Findings:

  • The MID system facilitates customized and buried midface distraction.
  • It offers a versatile solution for various craniofacial applications.
