Safety and Operative Outcomes of the Use of Resorbable Distractors in Posterior Cranial Vault and Mandibular Distraction

Resorbable distractor systems in both PCVD and MD demonstrate excellent safety profiles and favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes. These systems offer meaningful operative advantages, including reduced surgical morbidity, fewer revisions, and avoidance of secondary procedures, making them a valuable alternative to metallic hardware in select pediatric craniofacial populations.
