Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in Toddlers with Hemifacial Microsomia: A Five-Year Follow-Up of a Prospective Cohort Trial
Early MDO in toddlers with HFM was demonstrated to be safe and effective, with significant improvements in facial symmetry over a five-year follow-up period. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the longitudinal outcomes of MDO in 1- to 3-year-old HFM patients.
