Correction of facial asymmetry associated with unilateral hypoplastic mandible with monobloc distraction osteogenesis in adult.
Pak Armed Forces Med J Jan ;64(4):636-8.

Facial asymmetry can be corrected by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and distraction osteogenesis. We report a case of facial asymmetry which was corrected using monobloc distraction osteogenesis. A monobloc was created using an osteosynthesis fixation device from the zygomatic buttress to the mandible, LeFort I osteotomy was combined with mandibular angle osteotomy and the bloc was distracted using uni-directional distractor.
