What Is Distraction Osteogenesis?
A surgical technique that gradually lengthens bone by creating a controlled fracture and slowly separating the bone segments, allowing new bone to form in the gap.

Hemifacial microsomia
Treacher Collins syndrome

Obstructive sleep apnea
Congenital facial asymmetry
The Process
Surgery
Placement of distraction device and controlled bone cut
Latency (5-7 days)
Initial healing period before distraction begins
Distraction (2-4 weeks)
Gradual bone lengthening at 1mm per day
Consolidation (8-12 weeks)
New bone hardens and matures
Device Removal
Minor procedure to remove distraction hardware
