Do surgeons use this stuff??
« on: February 23, 2017, 08:51:20 AM »
It says it can be used on children and adults on the midface.  Do any doctors actually know how to use it though?  They always seem to have an excuse as to why they aren't trained in all these different technologies.

Some surgeons do Distraction Osteogenesis, but only for people with syndrome.

I personally believe DO is the future and traditional surgery will appear barbaric one day. I wish we'd see quicker advances. I'm not sure what's holding it back. For a while it was the inability to move in all planes with accuracy, but I believe at least the first part has been resolved. Maybe the accuracy is still not optimal. Most research should be in that area, because DO seems superior for the patient in all ways (unless I'm missing something).

But isn't most of the barbarity from the osteotomy? It's still required in DO.
