Distraction for Maxillofacial Surgery
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- Distraction osteogenesis is an effective technique used to gradually grow a patient’s own bone exactly where it’s needed in the head, face or jaw. Our plastic and craniofacial surgery experts use internal and external distraction devices to help achieve outstanding results for a variety of conditions. Learn more about how these work from Dr. John Polley, plastic surgeon and creator of numerous medical devices, including the widely used rigid external distraction (RED) device.
My husband was on two craniofacial teams. I was fortunate enough to sit in on some of their meetings. I’m totally in awe of these surgeons.
Fascinating stuff here
Dr. John W Polley performed two surgeries on me as a child at Rush in Chicago. He was so kind and did an excellent job each time. He is a great man!
I could have benefitted from this as a child 😔
can the face be moved upwards?
the jaw can be moved from any direction
Does this lefort 2 causes death if one just want upper jaw to move forward?
i had the the external device for my top jaw. i had the cleft lip and pallet and i was bullied so much prior to the surgery.
andrew parker shit!
Sorry to hear about your experience, but sadly I am not surprised. My ex-wife and the mother of my 2 boys was disabled in a car accident. Scars and neuropathy we can't see anymore, but from time to time we are reminded by the mindlessness comments of carefree idiots. Our 8 year old is becoming a stainless steel lamb, though.
She had a bilateral femoral derotation osteotemy. Cut bone, move bone, let heal. Not miles away, i'm sure.
Is it easier than like a regular LeFort 1 for example? Do they not really cut anything, just screw in the distraction device?
For how much time is it kept sir? And is the halo fixed or can be removed at night?
From my experience with having my red device the doctors estimate that I have to wear the red device (halo) for about 3-6 months. Sadly the halo cannot be removed, it stays on your head until after the 3-6 months.
@@sarat.7821 okay thank you
Hello sir my 5 year old faceing this problem we want to meet you plz tell us where r u from?
If you haven't yet, contact the clinic, Chase it down. Best of luck!
Can a lefort 3 be done in adults?
If you have sufficient midface hypoplasia, then yes
I assume these techniques are not realistic in the life of a single adult male with responsibilities? I have very mild hemifacial microsomia. one of the more mild cases. but i assume this is not realistic for me?
Why assume? Get a referral.
I should have known about this and seeked a maxillofacial surgeon about it when I was younger. Im 27 now.
fillers easier option, if its about looks. but it also treats some sinus issues too.
@@emem7106fillers dont treat the underlying dental problems
Did I just hear the dr say regarding turning " this is a FUN THING for the parents to do"?? and PAINLESS?? well I call BULLSH*T on this! My daughter had the midface advancment with that same purple halo device... and it was anything BUT pain free!!! I was torture for her each time I turned those screws! which in turn was also mentally torchure for me as well!!
I call bullshit!
I'm in the middle of this right now with my son! It definitely is grueling torture and worse... He can't cry....
Who downvoted these videos?
The kid is going to be macke fun of in school
they did to me now i have a "halo" and ive become a really toxic dude :P
This is NOT PAIN FREE!!!
