Nonoral Feeding Does Not Predict the Occurrence of Bone Healing Complications in Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis
Our data indicates preoperative feeding modality does not correlate with bone healing complications, suggesting MDO can be considered for patients regardless of feeding modality, potentially expanding eligibility for the procedure without increased risk. Additional research is warranted to understand risk factor effects on MDO outcomes.
