Success of Bone Ossification After Posterior Vault Distraction Osteogenesis in Patients With Craniosynostosis
Complete ossification of the distracted area of the cranium is unlikely after PVDO. Ossification appears less robust with increasing age, although not statistically significant in our study population, likely due to the limited sample size. Future studies should assess the role of age, latency period, and distraction rate in minimizing residual defects.
