RESUMEN
Le Fort III midfacial distraction using internal and external devices is a generally accepted procedure for midfacial retrusion in patients with craniosynostoses. Many novel techniques for correction of cranial deformities in craniosynostoses are being introduced today. The authors described 14 consecutive cases of Le Fort III midfacial distraction using internal and external distraction devices. The paper discusses advantages and limitations of these methods.
