Summary. Introduction: Optimal treatment for acute post-traumatic bone loss in the tibia remains unclear. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) and induced membrane technique (IM) have been established as the main- stays of treatment. Aim of this article is to review the current evidence regarding the use of these two meth- ods. Methods: A review of the MEDLINE database was performed with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria focusing on treatment of the acute bone loss after open tibia fractures with DO and IM. Bone union rate was taken as the primary outcome and infection rate as secondary outcome. Results: Four studies out of 78 on the use of the DO and three studies out of 18 on the use of the IM technique matched the inclusion criteria. Union rate in the DO group ranged between 92% and 100%, with infection rates between 0 and 4%. In the IM group, union was reached in 42% to 100% of cases, with septic complications occurring in 12% to 43%. Differences in union rate and infection rate reached statistical significance. Discussion: We found a consider- able evidence gap regarding treatment of bone loss in high grade open tibia fractures. The limitations of our study prevented us from drawing clear causative conclusions on the results. Although our study points to higher union rates and lower infection rate with the use of the DO technique, the results remain preliminary and further high-level evidence is needed to establish the roles of DO and IM in treatment of acute bone loss in open tibia fractures.

Dental College & Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Although orthognathic surgery has gained recognition over the last few decades it still has not overcome several limitations like acute advancement of bone segments and adaptation of soft tissue relative to the new position. With the advent of distraction osteogenesis these limitations have been omitted. Recently, several experimental and clinical investigations have established that controlled progressive mechanical traction of bone segments at an osteotomy site created in the craniofacial region can form new bone parallel to the direction of traction. Thorough planning, careful evaluation and communication between the orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon is the key to a successful outcome of the treatment and resolution of malocclusion. In addition, management of dentition prior to distraction need careful assessment for better finish of occlusion after distraction osteogenesis has been performed.

CHENG ABSTRACT Bone is one of the few organs capable of regeneration after a substantial injury. As the bone heals itself after trauma, the coupling of angiogenesis to osteogenesis is crucial for the restoration of the skeletal tissue. In prior studies we have shown that Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2), a potent agonist for skeletal formation is expressed by vessels making it a prime candidate that links the morphogenesis of the two tissues. To investigate the role of BMP2 in the coordination of vessel and bone formation, we used a tamoxifen inducible Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA) promoter that conditionally expresses Cre recombinases crossed with a BMP2 floxed mouse in order to conditionally delete the BMP2 gene in smooth muscle actin (SMA) expressing cells.

Distributed under Creative Commons CC-BY 3.0 Abstract Orthodontic tooth movement is brought about by the biomechanical utilization of the physiological mechanisms for bone remodeling in order to achieve optimal occlusion and thereby maximize the esthetic outcome. Distraction osteogenesis is a biomechanical process of bone tissue formation, where the distraction forces which act between the bone segments effect the biological potential of the bone. Though initially used in long bones, through the past years the technique has undergone significant advancements and innovations, that it has had increasing applications in the facial skeleton. The gradual evolution of compact internal appliances has lately led to the use of this concept in the field of orthodontics for moving tooth segments rapidly for an accelerated treatment outcome, and for novel modalities in the treatment of ankylosed teeth. This article is presented under the light of current literature to review the history, evolution and role of distraction in contemporary orthodontics.

Fragomen2, and S. Robert Rozbruch2 Abstract Background: Metacarpal lengthening by distraction osteogenesis has been well documented in pediatric patients but limited in older patients. Fewer studies have assessed the success of the procedure through outcome measure scores. The purpose of this study is to assess the outcomes of distraction osteogenesis in skeletally mature adults with brachymetacarpia and patients’ perspectives on their satisfaction through outcome measure scores. Methods: Retrospective chart review of a consecutive series of metacarpal lengthenings for the treatment of brachymetacarpia was performed. Key parameters collected include starting metacarpal length, amount lengthened, range of motion of metacarpophalangeal joint, type of fixator used, distraction time, and total time in fixator. Relevant comorbidities and complications encountered were recorded as well. The Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI) and Limb Deformity Modified Scoliosis Research Society (LD-SRS) score were given to evaluate patients’ perspectives on their satisfaction of surgery. Results: Seven metacarpal lengthenings were performed in 4 adult females (average age: 22.8 years) between 2005 and 2016. The average amount lengthened was 1.5 cm (range, 1.2-2.1 cm), corresponding to a mean percent lengthening of 44.4% (range, 33.3%- 57.1%). The mean distraction rate was 0.432 mm/day (range, 0.286-0.724 mm/day). The mean distraction time was 38 days (range, 28-55 days).

Although successful, one limitation of this technique is the extended period of fixators until the bone is consolidated. The application of growth factors (GFs) is one promising approach to accelerate bone regeneration during DO. Despite promising in vivo results, its use is still limited in the clinic. This is secondary to inherent limitations of these GFs. Therefore, a development of delivery systems that allow sustained sequential release is necessary. Nanoparticles and nanocomposites have prevailing properties that can overcome the limitations of the current delivery systems.

Methods: Metacarpal lengthening was performed by distraction osteogenesis in the seven metacarpals of four patients (3 females, 1 male; mean age: 14.9 years). A unilateral external fixator was used for length- ening. Lengthening was initiated with a distraction rate of 2×0.5 mm/day in the patient with bilateral involvement of the middle and ring metacarpals. On the tenth day of lengthening, distraction was discon- tinued due to pain and contracture. Then, distraction was continued with a rate of 2×0.25 mm/day. In all other cases, the distraction rate was 0.5 mm/day. Pre- and postoperative range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with visual analog scale. Results: The mean pre- and postoperative metacarpal lengths were 34.6 mm (range: 33 to 37) and 49.7 mm (range: 47 to 52), respectively. The mean lengthening achieved was 15.1 mm (range: 14 to 17), while the mean distraction rate was 0.55 mm/day (range: 0.48 to 0.63).

The major advantage of this procedure is diminishing reliability on grafting for reconstruction hence lack of donor site morbidity. Myriad of applications of distraction osteogenesis are present in maxillofacial surgery field which include mandibular distraction, midfacial distraction, alveolar ridge augmentation for functional, aesthetic and rehabilitative purpose. Keywords: distraction, craniofacial distraction, alveolar distraction I. Introduction Distraction Osteogenesis (DO), also called callus distraction, callotasis, osteodistraction, and distraction histogenesis is a biological process of regenerating neo formed bone and adjacent soft tissue by gradual and controlled traction of the surgically separated bone segments1. Specifically, this process is initiated when a traction force is applied to the bone segments and continues as long as the callus tissues are stretched. This traction force, in turn, generates tension within the tissues that connect the bone segments, which stimulates new bone formation parallel to the vector of distraction. Importantly, distraction forces applied to the bone also create tension in the surrounding soft tissues, initiating a sequence of adaptive changes termed distraction histogenesis.

Intermolar mandibular distraction osteogenesis (IMDO) treatment was performed during the growth spurt, to avoid surgery at a later age. The aim of this study is to present our first experience with IMDO. Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent an IMDO. All patients showed mandibular retrognathism, and orthodontic treatment with functional appliances was not successful. Results: In total, 20 patients (mean age of 14.8 years (SD = 0.9 ys) were included. All patients achieved a Class I occlusion. An average length gain of 9.6 mm (SD = 3.7 mm) was reached. In one patient an abscess occurred. Nine patients presented Citation: Lie, S.A.N.; Engelen, with root fractures of the second molar; three were lost, one treated endodontically.
