Kaur H, Grover S, Singaraju GS, Sidhu MS, Jaglan A, Dogra N. Effects of anterior maxillary distraction compared to LeFort-1 osteotomy and total maxillary distraction osteogenesis for treating hypoplastic maxilla in patients with cleft lip and palate- A systematic review and meta-analysis. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101308. [PMID: 36220549 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the treatment outcomes and effectiveness of Anterior Maxillary Distraction (AMD) with the LeFort I Osteotomy and Total Maxillary Distraction Osteogenesis (TMDO) to treat cleft maxillary hypoplasia. METHODS (PROSPERO CRD42020223345) Thorough electronic search of seven databases, unpublished gray literature, and a hand search of the relevant studies reference lists was done. Studies assessing mid-facial skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft-tissue outcomes of AMD in patients >8 years of age, hypoplastic cleft maxilla, and with either TMDO/LeFort 1/ both as control groups were included. Seven included articles were assessed for the study characteristics and qualitative synthesis. Three studies were analyzed quantitatively using the RevMan 5.4 software. The quality of studies was assessed using Cochrane ROB2 and the overall certainty of evidence using GRADE. RESULTS AMD was performed in 241 subjects, LeFort 1 in 145 subjects, and TMDO in 42 subjects. Maxillary advancement for AMD and LeFort 1 groups showed no statistically significant difference (Mean Difference, MD -0.64°) while TMDO showed statistically significant advancement than AMD (MD -1.44°). Statistically significant upward rotation of anterior maxilla was noted with AMD (MD -6.15 degrees) than Lefort 1. Upper incisor inclination improved in both AMD and TMDO groups (MD 1.5°). Improvement in the maxilla-mandibular relationship, convexity of face, lip and nose, and marked dentoalveolar changes in overjet and upper incisor position were noted in all the three groups. Discernible airway alterations were noted in LeFort 1 and TMDOs. Total relapse was the least with AMD. CONCLUSION Distraction osteogenesis exhibited better dento-skeletal outcomes and minor skeletal relapse than LeFort 1. TMDO is a preferred modality in treating severe maxillary hypoplasia associated with CLP than AMD. Further long-term prospective comparative studies are required, possibly involving the patient-centric merits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the timing and safety of cleft palate (CP) repair in patients with Robin sequence (RS) treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) or tongue-lip adhesion (TLA) for airway obstruction. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary Pediatric Hospital during 2004-2020. PATIENTS 148 patients with RS underwent MDO, 66 met inclusion by having MDO and followed by palatoplasty. 26 patients with RS underwent TLA, 14 met inclusion by having TLA and followed by palatoplasty. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Patient characteristics, hospital/operative details, postoperative complications, and polysomnographic (PSG) data were compared. RESULTS Groups were well-matched except more patients with syndromes underwent MDO (N = 27, 41%, P ≤ .002). In the MDO and TLA cohorts, mean CP repair age was 12.8 ± 1.9 months and 14.6 ± 1.6 months, respectively (P ≤ .002). Despite the earlier CP repair in the MDO group, there were no differences in peri-operative complication rates after palatoplasty in either group. All sleep respiratory parameters improved after MDO/TLA prior to palatoplasty P ≤ .050. All PSG parameters remained significantly improved after palatoplasty compared to preoperative values, P ≤ .043. Obstructive apnea hypopnea index and Oxygen saturation nadir further improved after palatoplasty within the MDO group, P ≤ .050, while no changes in the TLA group, P ≥ .500. CONCLUSIONS MDO was associated with earlier age at palatoplasty than TLA with a similar perioperative risk profile. In those patients with pre- and post-palatoplasty PSG data, palatoplasty was not associated with a deterioration in PSG parameters, and in fact in the MDO group, PSG data improved.

Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis is the standard surgical procedure for cranioplasty in children over 6 months of age. This technique carries a risk of detachment of the extender and infection during the course, but such troubles can be reduced by accumulating surgical experience. In addition, furing distraction osteogenesis, the cranium can be sufficiently expanded by slowly stretching the scalp, while adjustment ensures that the facial appearance does not change too much. In this paper, I will explain the surgical technique and postoperative management, focusing on FOA(Fronto-orbital advancement)for trigonocephaly or brachycephaly and BPE(Bilateral parietal expansion)for scaphocephaly. The point of surgery in FOA is the osteotomy of the orbital bar. The osteotomy can be performed safely and easily using a wire saw. The aim of surgery in BPE is to extend an osteotomy up to the front of the coronal suture and down to the part near the cranial floor. This allows improvements of the cranial shape while sufficiently increasing the cranial volume.

Abstract
In this article we explain in detail the Multidirectional Cranial Distraction Osteogenesis(MCDO)procedure for treating craniosynostosis, in which the multiple cranial bone flaps are pulled up in different directions by the external distractor with the helmet-type frame. MCDO has several advantages over conventional procedures such as unilateral cranial distraction osteogenesis(UCDO). First, the design of the osteotomy in MCDO is flexible depending on the deformities. Each bone flap can be moved to the desired direction in MCDO, while being moved only in one direction along the axis of the distractor in UCDO. This enables remodeling of the deformed cranium to the desired shape. Second, compared with UCDO, the distance between each bone flap after distraction is narrower in MCDO, allowing earlier bone formation and fusion, and thus a shorter consolidation period. Third, the expansion efficacy of MCDO is greater than that of UCDO. The maximum defects of MCDO were the large amount of osteotomy and the resulting heavy bleeding. Therefore, we have recently attempted to improve the design and procedure of osteotomy. The MCDO method allows all phenotypes of skull deformity to be reshaped by distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of freshening technique on docking site in tibial bone transport management. METHODS Retrospective cohort study was conducted about the effect of freshening technique on docking site in 20 cases(15 males and 5 females) treated with tibial bone transport from January of 2014 to December of 2019. The age of patients ranged from 19 to 62 years old, with an average of (42.3±11.5)years old. Seven patients had infectious bone defect and 13 patients had non-infectious. Application of freshening technique immediately after docking included resection of invaginated skin or soft tissue, removal of closed sclerotic bone, re-apposition, increasing the contact, acute compression of freshened docking site and grafting from adjacent medullary or bone debris, followed by post-operative gradual compression. RESULTS The amount of segmented bone defect ranged from 5 to 15 cm, with an average of(9.2±2.9) cm. Time required from osteotomy to contact of butt end ranged from 26 to 243 days, with an average of(109.1±51.1) days. The duration needed from 3 to 7 months with an average of(3.7±1.1) months before reaching radiological healing criterion in docking site. Fourteen out of 15 concurrent fibular osteotomy were united. Consolidation time for distracted callus ranged from 5 to 28 months, with an average of (15.0±6.5) months. Bone healing index(BHI) ranged from 0.8 to 2.8 months/cm, with an average of (1.6±0.5) months. One surgical site infection (5%) in tibial was noted. No refractures were found in follow-up ranged from 12 to 73 months, with an average of(37.6±20.3) months after fixator removal. CONCLUSION Freshening technique immediately after docking had advantages of the shorter healing time, avoidance of refracture, and independance of necessity for remote autograft harvest.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the treatment effect of distraction osteogenesis (DO) and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) for severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients and to guide clinical decisions about treatment of OSAHS. Methods: Thirty-seven OSAHS patients which accepted maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) or distraction osteogenesis (DO) in Stomatological Hospital of the Department of Maxillofacial Trauma and Orthognathic Surgery, School of Stomatology, The Forth Military Medical University from June 2017 to June 2019 were collected. Their preoperative and postoperative data of cephalometry, polysomnography (PSG), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores were collected and analyzed. With propensity score matching method, the treatment effect of MMA and DO was analyzed and compared. Results: According to the statistics of MMA group, only AHI was correlated with operative successful rate and cure rate. With the increase of AHI, the treatment effect of MMA on OSAHS patients gradually decreased. The cut-off point of AHI as a predictor of MMA treatment failure was 78.2 n/h. All the matched cases were severe OSAHS patients. Statistical analysis showed that the mandibular elongation of DO patients[(24.00±4.39) mm] was significantly more than that of MMA group [(11.20±1.37) mm] (t=-6.11, P<0.001), the improvement of PSG index [including lowest oxygen saturation (LSpO2), longest apnea (LA) and longest hypopnea (LH)] in DO group [LSpO2=(93.40±1.82)%; LA=(18.28±8.32) s; LH=(61.84±32.94) s] was significantly higher than that in the MMA group [LSpO2=(86.00±4.06)%, LA=(64.08±21.78) s, LH=(172.40±30.70) s](t=-3.72, P=0.005; t=4.39, P=0.003; t=5.49, P=0.004). The PSQI and the ESS scores of DO group (PSQI=4.20±0.83; ESS=3.40±1.52) were also significantly better than that of MMA group (PSQI=8.80±2.39, ESS=9.40±2.88)(t=4.07, P=0.001; t=4.12, P=0.002). Conclusions: For severe OSAHS patients, the objective and subjective indicators of DO treatment group showed a better therapeutic effect than that of MMA.

Abstract
Treatment of ankylosed and submerged primary molars without permanent successors is challenging, as normal vertical dentoalveolar growth is compromised. Thus, grafting techniques and distraction osteogenesis are performed for ridge augmentation before implant restoration. However, these techniques are invasive with limited success. Another treatment for implant site development is noninvasive forced eruption. This case report describes long-term follow-up of alveolar ridge augmentation in the submerged mandibular primary second molars using subluxation and orthodontic forced eruption for implant site development. A 19-year old female had Class II molar relationships, upper anterior crowding with large overjet, missing four second premolars and submerged mandibular primary second molars with inadequate vertical development of alveolar bone. For the vertical alveolar bone alterations in the mandible, forced eruption with subluxation of ankylosed lower primary second molars was applied. Treatment outcome was evaluated over 5 years with stable occlusion, healthy periodontal tissues, and successful radiographic results.

Abstract
Patients with syndromic craniosynostosis can present with midface hypoplasia, abnormal facial ratios, and obstructive sleep apnea. These symptoms can all be improved with midface advancement, but it is essential to evaluate the specific morphologic characteristics of each patient's bony deficiencies before offering subcranial advancement. Midface hypoplasia in Crouzon syndrome is evenly distributed between the central and lateral midface and reliably corrected with Le Fort III distraction. In contrast, the midface hypoplasia in Apert/Pfeiffer syndromes occurs in both an axial and a sagittal plane, with significantly more nasomaxillary hypoplasia compared with the orbitozygomatic deficiency.

Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a widely used surgical technique to repair bone defects, partly owing to its high efficiency in inducing osteogenesis; however, the process of osteogenesis is complex, and the precise mechanism is still unclear. Among the factors identified for an effective DO procedure, well-controlled inflammation is essential. We aimed to explore how microRNA(miR)-146a, a negative regulator of inflammation, influences osteogenesis in DO. First, we established canine right mandibular DO and bone fracture models to evaluate the expression level of miR-146a in response to these procedures. Second, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated from healthy puppies and cultured with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to observe how inflammation affects osteogenesis. Finally, the osteogenesis activity of BMSCs transfected with lentiviral vector either overexpressing (miR-146a-up) or inhibited for miR-146a expression was evaluated. miR-146a-up-transfected BMSCs were injected locally into the distraction gaps of the DO model canines. On days 42 and 56 post-surgery, the bone volume/tissue volume and bone mineral density values were evaluated via using micro-computed tomography, and newly formed tissues were harvested and evaluated via histological staining. The expression of miR-146a in both the DO canine model and LPS-stimulated BMSCs increased. Overexpression of miR-146a enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, the newly formed callus was improved in canine mandibles injected with miR-146a-up-transfected BMSCs. In summary, miR-146a regulates mandibular DO by improving osteogenesis, and can serve as a potential target to shorten the therapy period of DO.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the preliminary efficacy, perioperative management and complications of Le Fort Ⅲ osteotomy and midface distraction in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis by retrospective analysis, and to provide clinical experience for reference. Methods: From October 2017 to January 2020, 20 patients with syndromic craniosynostosis underwent Le Fort Ⅲ osteotomy and distraction in The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Peking University International Hospital, including 11 males and 9 females, were involved. The median age was 7 years (1.5 to 15 years). Preoperative risk prevention plan was put forward by multidisciplinary evaluation, and preoperative intervention was carried out. The diagnostic data of SNA, airway volume, polysomnography (PSG), ophthalmology and occlusal relationship were obtained through specialized examination, and osteotomy and distraction surgical plan was formulated through virtual surgical planning. CT was taken 1 week and 3, 6, 12 months after operation, PSG and eye protrudence examination were conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effect, syndrome type, multiple disciplinary treatment (MDT) intervention, occurrence and outcome of complications were summarized. Results: There were 15 cases of Crouzon syndrome and 5 cases of Pfeiffer syndrome. Sleep apnea was the first complaint in 18 cases and exophthalmia in 2 cases. Preoperative interventional therapy included 4 cases of adenoid surgery, 2 cases of continuous positive airway pressure and 2 cases of maxillary expansion. The most common surgical complications were accidental fracture (14/20 cases, 70%), cerebrospinal fluid fistula (2 cases), internal carotid cavernous sinus fistula (1 case), postoperative hyponatraemia (5 cases), crying syndrome (2 cases), wound infection (2 cases), trichiasis of lower eyelid (4 cases), and nasal malformation (1 case). Three cases underwent unplanned secondary surgery. SNA, airway volume and mean percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) six months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation (F=10.09, P=0.001; F=5.13, P<0.001; F=10.78, P=0.001), and the protrusion and apnea hypopnea index were significantly lower than those before surgery (F=6.73, P=0.010; F=18.47, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in SNA, airway volume, mean SpO2, ophthalmology between 6 months after surgery and 1 year after surgery (P>0.05). Conclusions: Perioperative safety assessment and early intervention of MDT is an effective diagnosis and treatment model of Le Fort Ⅲ osteotomy and distraction for syndromic craniosynosis. The operative complications are mainly local, and systemic complications are controllable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a mechanobiological process of producing new bone by gradual and controlled distraction of the surgically separated bone segments. Mice have been increasingly used to study the role of relevant biological factors in regulating bone regeneration during DO. However, there remains a lack of in silico DO models and related mechano-regulatory tissue differentiation algorithms for mouse bone. This study sought to establish an in silico model based on in vivo experimental data to simulate the bone regeneration process during DO of the mouse femur. METHODS In vivo micro-CT, including time-lapse morphometry was performed to monitor the bone regeneration in the distraction gap. A 2D axisymmetric finite element model, with a geometry originating from the experimental data, was created. Bone regeneration was simulated with a fuzzy logic-based two-stage (distraction and consolidation) mechano-regulatory tissue differentiation algorithm, which was adjusted from that used for fracture healing based on our in vivo experimental data. The predictive potential of the model was further tested with varied distraction frequencies and distraction rates. RESULTS The computational simulations showed similar bone regeneration patterns to those observed in the micro-CT data from the experiment throughout the DO process. This consisted of rapid bone formation during the first 10 days of the consolidation phase, followed by callus reshaping via bone remodeling. In addition, the computational model predicted a faster and more robust bone healing response as the model's distraction frequency was increased, whereas higher or lower distraction rates were not conducive to healing. CONCLUSIONS This in silico model could be used to investigate basic mechanobiological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration or to optimize DO strategies for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE In distraction osteogenesis (DO) of long bones, new bone tissue is distracted to lengthen limbs or reconstruct bone defects. However, mechanical boundary conditions in human application such as arising forces are mainly based on limited empirical data. Our aim was the numerical determination of the callus distraction force (CDF) and the total distraction force (TDF) during DO in the tibia of adults to advance the understanding of callus tissue behavior and optimize DO procedures. METHOD We implemented a mathematical model based on an animal experiment to enable the calculation of forces arising while distracting callus tissue, excluding the influence of surrounding soft tissue (muscles, skin etc.). The CDF progression for the distraction period was calculated using the implemented model and varying distraction parameters (initial gap, area, step size, time interval, length). Further, we estimated the CDF based on reported forces in humans and compared the results to our model predictions. In addition, we calculated the TDF based on our CDF predictions in combination with reported resisting forces due to soft tissue presence in human cadavers. Finally, we compared the progressions to in vivo TDF measurements for validation. RESULTS Due to relaxation, a peak and resting CDF is observable for each distraction step. Our biomechanical results show a non-linear degressive increase of the resting and peak CDF at the beginning and a steady non-linear increase thereafter. The calculated resting and peak CDF in the tibial metaphysis ranged from 0.00075 to 0.0089 N and 0.22-2.6 N at the beginning as well as 20-25 N and 70-75 N at the end of distraction. The comparison to in vivo data showed the plausibility of our predictions and resulted in a 10-33% and 10-23% share of resting CDF in the total resting force for bone transport and elongation, respectively. Further, the percentage of peak CDF in total peak force was found to be 29-58% and 27-55% for bone transport and elongation, respectively. Moreover, our TDF predictions were valid based on the comparison to in vivo forces and resulted in a degressive increase from 6 to 125 N for the peak TDF and from 5 to 76 N for the resting TDF. CONCLUSION Our approach enables the estimation of forces arising due to the distraction of callus tissue in humans and results in plausible force progressions as well as absolute force values for the callus distraction force during DO. In combination with measurements of resisting forces due to the presence of soft tissue, the total distraction force in DO may also be evaluated. We thus propose the application of this method to approximate the behavior of mechanical callus properties during DO in humans as an alternative to in vivo measurements.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) effectively treats tongue-based airway obstruction (TBAO) in micrognathic patients with Robin Sequence. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis may also address TBAO in certain nonmicrognathic patients who have severe obstructive apnea, although there is no current literature to guide MDO use in these atypical patients. This study describes outcomes of MDO in a series of patients with TBAO without micrognathia. METHODS Patients who underwent MDO for TBAO from 2013-20 were reviewed, and patients with micrognathia were excluded. Study subjects received baseline/follow up polysomnography. Polysomnography variables, including Obstructive Apnea Hypopnea Index, oxyhemoglobin saturation nadir (SpO2 nadir), percent sleep time end tidal CO2 greater than 50 mm Hg (%ETCO2 > 50), and respiratory-related arousals were compared before and after MDO. Demographics, syndromic/cleft palate status, airway anomalies, respiratory support, and feeding outcomes were collected. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-four patients underwent MDO during this study period; 5 were nonmicrognathic and included in analysis. Sixty percent (n = 3) of the cohort was syndromic: 1 patient each had Trisomy 9, Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome, and duplicated pituitary gland plus syndrome. Forty percent (n = 2) of patients had a cleft palate, 60% (n = 3) had laryngomalacia, and 40% had tracheomalacia. Median (range) age at MDO was 53 days (47-167 days), and median length of distraction was 16 mm (14-20 mm). After MDO, median Obstructive Apnea Hypopnea Index decreased from x̃ = 60.7/h (11.6-109.4) to x̃ = 5.3/h (3.5-19.3) (P = 0.034). SpO2 nadir increased (69% [58-74] to 85% [80-88], P = 0.011), and median %ETCO2 > 50 mm Hg decreased (5.8% [5.2-30.1] to 0.0% [0.0-1.3], P ≤ 0.043). Continuous positive airway pressure was used by all patients immediately after MDO, and at 6 months postoperatively, 1 patient remained on continuous positive airway pressure and 1 patient required supplemental oxygen. At last follow up, no patients had significant residual airway obstruction or required a tracheostomy. CONCLUSIONS Mandibular distraction osteogenesis can effectively treat severe TBAO in some patients without micrognathia that would otherwise be candidates for tracheostomy. When used in select patients, MDO significantly improves obstructive sleep apnea and reduces need for ventilatory support, although feeding support is still needed in most patients at 6 months. Further study in a larger cohort will help identify appropriate candidates for MDO and characterize outcomes of unique patient populations.

Abstract
Since distraction osteogenesis had been used in maxillofacial surgery in the 1990s,it has become an important option for treating maxillary hypoplasia in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Numerous domestic and international studies reported that the prognosis of distraction osteogenesis might be affected by various factors, including the design of osteotomy line, type of distractor, advancement of maxillary bone and the age of patients, etc. Therefore, the present article reviewed possible impact factors that affect the effectiveness and outcomes of maxillary distraction osteogenesis of CLP from three aspects: treatment methods, type of patients and adjuvant therapy, which hopefully might benefit the formulation of treatment strategies in clinical work and improve the prognosis of distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
This article describes the 3 main surgical options for correction of congenital brachymetatarsia in childhood. The one-stage lengthening by lengthening osteotomy and lengthening with graft interposition are suitable for defects less than 10 mm. For the greater defects from 10 mm to more than 20 mm, gradual lengthening by callus distraction with an external or internal fixator is appropriate. Over the last years, callus distraction with an internal minifixator became commonly established because of the significantly improved aftercare with early full weight-bearing and high postoperative comfort for the child. All 3 surgical procedures are presented with comprehensive image material.

Abstract
Approximately 5% of children experience difficulty with the complex coordination of sucking, swallowing and breathing required for feeding. Infants with craniofacial malformations may have anatomic and neurologic contributions to feeding problems. Examples include cleft lip and/or palate, micrognathia, maxillary hypoplasia, and pharyngeal dysfunction. Interventions may facilitate weight gain and avoid failure-to-thrive in these infants. An interdisciplinary approach to address feeding challenges in children with craniofacial differences is necessary. Positional changes, latching maneuvers, specialized feeder nipples, squeezable bottles, and cup feeding can be implemented early. Surgical intervention, including gastrostomy tube placement, tongue lip adhesion, mandibular distraction osteogenesis and tracheostomy, may be required in more severe cases.

Abstract
Midfacial hypoplasia is a type of facial dysplasia. The technique of trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis promotes midface growth so as to ameliorate this symptom. In the process of distraction osteogenesis, the fiber matrix in the suture acts as a mechanical sensor. Compared with osteogenesis, the formation of collagen fibers by fibroblasts is significant in the early stage of sutural distraction. However the transformation of fibroblasts during sutural bone formation induced by tensile force is poorly characterized. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to define the cell classification of the zygomatic maxillary suture and the changes of cell clusters in the suture before and after seven-day distraction. We identified twenty-nine cell subsets spanning monocyte/macrophages, neutrophils, red blood cells, B cells and fibroblasts. Compared with the control group, Monocle analysis revealed the emergence of a unique fibroblast subset (Cdh5+, Col4a1+, Fat1-, and Acta2-) (cluster 27) that expressed vascular endothelial cell genes within the distracted zygomatic maxillary suture. We constructed the differentiation trajectories of the fibroblast population (cluster 23, 27) in the suture before and after distraction. In addition, we clarified that a subset of fibroblasts (cluster 27) lost expression of Fat1, an upregulator of the Hippo pathway, and upregulated Cyr61, a downstream gene of the Hippo pathway, during the distraction process. Further enrichment analysis suggests that cells of the new subset (cluster 27) are undergoing conversion of their identity into a vascular endothelial cell-like state in response to mechanical stimulation, associated with upregulation of angiogenesis genes along the single-cell trajectory. Further immunofluorescence staining confirmed this phenomenon. A combined general transcriptome RNA sequencing data analysis demonstrated that the fibroblasts expressed a number of extracellular matrix-related genes under mechanical strain. These data together provide a new view of the role of fibroblasts in tension-induced sutural angiogenesis via interaction with the Hippo pathway.

Abstract
CASE A 43-year-old insulin-dependent man with a 4.4-cm posttraumatic femoral limb length discrepancy sustained a subtrochanteric femur fracture associated with failure of a motorized intramedullary limb lengthening nail during distraction osteogenesis. The patient requested a single-stage salvage operation. After implant removal, the femur was stabilized and compressed with a plate-tensioned-nail construct consisting of 4.5-mm locking compression plate tensioned and linked to a femoral reconstruction nail through interlocking screws with immediate weight-bearing. CONCLUSION A plate-tensioned-nail construct is a single-stage salvage option for a length-unstable subtrochanteric nonunion which permits immediate full weight-bearing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate osteogenic potential of Cissus quadrangularis in alveolar distraction to facilitate implant installation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty patients with atrophic ridge were treated by alveolar distraction. After completing distractor activation, patients were randomly divided into two equal groups according to administered drug (placebo and Cissus quadrangularis group). After a consolidation period, distractors were removed and implants were inserted. Clinical evaluation was done to assess wound healing, and distractor and implant stability. Histological evaluation was performed at time of implant insertion. Radiographic evaluation was performed to assess bone volume and density after distraction, as well as, density and bone loss around implant. RESULTS Radiographic and histological results showed that bone formation and maturation of study group were faster than that of control group. There was a significant increased bone density in distracted area and around implant in study group than control group. A significant bone loss at end of consolidation period, and around implant at end of the study was reported in control group than study group. CONCLUSION Cissus quadrangularis administration during the consolidation period is associated with increased osteogenic potential of distracted bone. The histological and radiographic findings of current study proved that Cissus quadrangularis not only enhances rate of new bone formation, but also bone density to withstand the biomechanical requirements of implant placement in a shorter time. Trial registration This study was retrospectively registered on www.ClinicalTrial.gov : NCT04669795-17\12\2020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe microretrognathia with the absence of ascending mandibular ramus is a challenging deformity and treatment must aim to avoid tracheostomy or remove it as soon as possible. Although it is not often reported, mandibular distraction osteogenesis represents a valid treatment option in infants affected by hypoplastic mandible Pruzansky-Kaban type IIb and III. CASE PRESENTATION The authors describe 3 cases of infants affected by severe respiratory insufficiency due to congenital mandibular hypoplasia, with follow up ranging from 4 to 8 years. Clinical and technical considerations on treatment choices and outcomes are discussed starting from review of the literature and direct clinical experience. CONCLUSION Early mandibular distraction, specifically bidirectional distraction, is an effective and repeatable technique that leads to mandible lengthening with counterclockwise rotation, pogonion projection increase, anteropositioning of the tongue base, and expansion of oropharyngeal volume with positive effect on the respiratory problems of the infant. Even in Treacher Collins patients, known to have a low decannulation rate, all of these elements are essential for effective speech and swallowing therapy and for a subsequent attempt of decannulation.

Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis is a widely used surgical technique to treat bone deformity and shortening. Several biological treatments have been studied to enhance bone formation during distraction osteogenesis in animals. However, role of osteoactivin in the osseous tissues during distraction osteogenesis remains poorly understood. In this animal experimental study, we investigated the spatiotemporal expression of osteoactivin by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR using a mouse model for tibial lengthening. Furthermore, to address the role of osteoactivin in bone lengthening, we subjected the osteoactivin-transgenic mice to distraction osteogenesis model. During the lag phase, the fibroblast-like cells (possible progenitors of the osteoblasts or chondrocytes), which mainly express osteoactivin, were infiltrated into the osteotomy site. Osteoactivin was ubiquitously expressed in the lengthened segment during the distraction and consolidation phases. Consistent with the immunohistochemical analysis, the levels of the osteoactivin transcripts in the tibias were significantly increased throughout the distraction osteogenesis process. The bone mineral content in the osteoactivin-transgenic mice calculated using peripheral quantitative computed tomography was also significantly increased at the remodeling zone. The histomorphometric analysis revealed that newly formed callus resorption in the remodeling zone was significantly reduced but bone formation was not altered in the osteoactivin-transgenic mice. We conclude that osteoactivin functions as an inhibitor of callus resorption during the consolidation phase of distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
Bone maxillary post traumatic defects create significant aesthetic and functional handicaps remaining a critical challenge for surgical reconstruction, among all the alternatives that exist, transportation osteogenesis remains a body ally for having satisfactory results. We present a case of 26 mm of maxillary reconstruction with bifocal transportation osteogenesis using a novel technique, with a custom-made device. At the end of the consolidation period, the patient had clinical formation of new tissue corroborated radiographically. We achieve an adequate dentoalveolar arch, upper lip vestibule, gingiva and palatal fibromucosa similar to the adjacent tissue, improvement of facial contour, labial projection, nostril floors and masticatory function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and mandibular midline distraction osteogenesis (MMDO) on facial soft tissues using three-dimensional (3D) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 patients (average age 15.86 ± 2.17 years) were treated with RME and MMDO using tooth-borne distractors. Three-dimensional photographs of each patient were taken with a stereophotogrammetry system at baseline (T0), at the end of the distraction period (T1), and at the end of the consolidation period (T2). All data were analyzed using a dependent-samples t-test at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS Total and lower face height increased after MMDO (P < .05). Nasal and mouth width increased after RME as compared with baseline (P < .05). The labiomental angle increased at T1 and decreased at T2 (P < .05). After MMDO, the convexity angle increased while the mandibular angle decreased (P < .05). Upper and lower lip angles increased after RME (P < .05). The distance from the lower lip to the E plane increased after MMDO and decreased after RME (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The MMDO and RME procedures provide an efficient nonextraction treatment alternative for transverse maxillomandibular deficiency. MMDO may improve the facial soft tissue profile in the transverse and vertical axis of the mandibular region.
