Advanced transport distraction technique for jaw reconstruction

29/9/2014

Portions of the jaw bone can be lost due to tumors, infections, accident injuries or other diseases. One of the advanced techniques for jaw reconstruction is transport distraction.

In this, the remaining normal jaw bone is cut and a device called transport distractor is fixed. The screw attached to the distractor is turned about 1 mm per day which pushes the bone segments apart and new, healthy bone is formed in the resultant gap. Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji achieves immense success in the complete reconstruction of jaw using this technology.
