The Biomechanical Properties of A Modified Distraction Device Used in Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis for Craniofacial Microsomia Patients: A Simulation Finite Element Analysis Study
In most cases, both 5 and 3 poly-L-lactic acidscrews could firmly fix the distractor on the mandible without plastic deformation, although the situation would be different when the mastication force was too powerful.
