Abstract :
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) has emerged as
a revolutionary technique in the field of orthopaedic
surgery, offering solutions for limb lengthening, bone
deformity correction, and craniofacial reconstruction.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the
principles, techniques, and advancements in distraction
osteogenesis, highlighting its applications, challenges,
and future directions. From historical perspectives to
contemporary innovations, this review aims to elucidate
the evolution of DO and its impact on patient
outcomes.Some of the downsides of DO include incorrect
vector alignment, which results in unfavourable loading
of joints and tissues, scarring, pain, dental hygiene
maintenance, and daily visits for activation.
Orthodontists, with their expertise in biomechanics and
long-term patient care, are ideally positioned to
administer and integrate this innovative therapeutic
treatment.
