Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis is the technique of slow bone expansion across an osteotomy site. Most commonly used for orthopedic lengthening of the extremities, it is now being applied to the craniofacial skeleton, including treatment of facial asymmetries, micrognathias and mandibular discontinuity defects. The technique can also be applied for the reconstruction of a neo-condyle. Transport distraction osteogenesis may prove to be a treatment alternative for patients requiring condylar reconstruction.
