Multidirectional distraction osteogenesis successfully treated Crouzon syndrome by expanding the maxilla and mandible. This surgical approach corrected facial structure using advanced orthopedic devices.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Orthognathic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Crouzon syndrome presents complex craniofacial deformities requiring advanced surgical correction.
  • Multidirectional distraction osteogenesis offers a method for gradual skeletal expansion.

Observation:

  • A patient with Crouzon syndrome underwent surgical correction using a RED system and Hyrax expansion screw for maxillary expansion.
  • Mandibular distraction osteogenesis was performed using a Dyna Form device for widening.

Findings:

  • The surgical procedure involved quadrangular and bimaxillary midline osteotomies for device fixation.
  • Successful lateral maxillary expansion and mandibular widening were achieved.

Implications:
