[Repair of mandibular defects using dosed distraction. Part II. Bound osteoplasty of the mandible by distraction osteogenesis].

Abstract

Five variants of bound osteoplasty based on the distraction osteogenesis phenomenon were developed by the author for the treatment of patients with gunshot mandibular defects during the war in Afghanistan. Three of these variants are described in this paper; indications for their use and the technique of operation are presented. In fact, bound osteoplasty for gunshot wounds is primary early osteoplasty of the mandible -- the target of several generations of maxillofacial surgeons.
