Architecture and microstructure of cortical bone in reconstructed canine mandibles after bone transport distraction osteogenesis
Zapata, Uriel; Halvachs, Emily K.; Dechow, Paul C.; Elsalanty, Mohammed E.; Opperman, Lynne A. (SPRINGER, 2011-11-01)Reconstruction of the canine mandible using bone transport distraction osteogenesis has been shown to be a suitable method for correcting segmental bone defects produced by cancer, gunshots, and trauma. Although the ... -
Biomechanics of the canine mandible during bone transport distraction osteogenesis
Zapata, Uriel; Dechow, Paul C.; Watanabe, Ikuya; Elsalanty, Mohammed E.; Opperman, Lynne A. (ASME, 2014-11-01)This study compared biomechanical patterns between finite element models (FEMs) and a fresh dog mandible tested under molar and incisal physiological loads in order to clarify the effect of the bone transport distraction ... -
In vitro mechanical evaluation of mandibular bone transport devices
Zapata, Uriel; Watanabe, Ikuya; Opperman, Lynne A.; Dechow, Paul C.; Mulone, Timothy; Elsalanty, Mohammed E. (ASME, 2014-06-01)Bone transport distraction osteogenesis (BTDO) is a surgical procedure that has been used over the last 30 years for the correction of segmental defects produced mainly by trauma and oncological resections. Application of ...
