Ultrasonographic Assessment of New Bone Formation in Maxillary Distraction Osteogenesis

Since McCarthy first applied it to the mandible, distraction osteogenesis (DOG) has become a popular technique to stimulate new bone formation in patients with severe craniomaxillofacial deformities. Our preliminary study has already confirmed that sagittal CT images reconstructed from axial CT imag...

More Information
Summary:Since McCarthy first applied it to the mandible, distraction osteogenesis (DOG) has become a popular technique to stimulate new bone formation in patients with severe craniomaxillofacial deformities. Our preliminary study has already confirmed that sagittal CT images reconstructed from axial CT images are useful in evaluating new bone formation at the distracted anterior wall of the maxilla. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the usefulness of US as an alternative to sagittal CT for the longitudinal assessment of new bone formation after maxillary DOG.
