Distraction osteogenesis of costocartilaginous rib grafts and treatment algorithm for severely hypoplastic mandibles.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2011; (5): 2005-13
In craniofacial microsomia, patients with severely hypoplastic mandibles (Pruzansky type III) require replacement of the ramus and condyle unit. Autogenous costocartilaginous rib graft and distraction osteogenesis are the most important techniques used, but long-term results need to be looked at to determine optimal management.
