Osteodistraction is a surgical technique that manages developmental anomalies of the craniofacial skeleton. It involves bone elongation, allowing for the gradual formation of new bone tissue, correction of skeletal discrepancies, and restoration of facial harmony and function. This procedure is beneficial for patients with various craniofacial deformities, trauma-related defects, or significant mandibular augmentation. However, careful patient selection and evaluation of potential risks and complications are crucial. Advancements in surgical techniques, implant designs, and biocompatible materials could further enhance the safety and efficacy of this procedure.
