DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS
Mechanical induction of new bone that occurs between
vascular bony surfaces that are gradually pulled apart by
gradual distraction.
New bone formed bridges the gap & remodels to normal
bone macrostructure.
Tension stress effect on growth & genesis of tissues.
Developed by Ilizarov in 1956
Highly modular fixators allow formation of new bone in
almost any plane as D.O follows the vector of applied force.
Age: as long as Pt had # healing potential.
INDICATION: bone grafting, LLD, nonunion, deformity,
bone defects 2* to trauma, infection, tumor.
Advantages over bone grafting
Reduces donor site morbidity
Autograft is limited
No fear of transmission of antigens, bacteria, viruses, dead
foreign bodies.
In infected wounds.
Risk of # in B.G over extended period of time
B.G will never incorporate in to living B.
Components of D.O
 Application of ext.fix – stability, applies forces
 Corticotomy
 Postop period
1. Latency period
2. Distraction P.
3. Consolidation P.
DEFINITION
CORTICOTOMY: low energy osteotomy, performed using an
osteotome to cut only the cortical surface thus preserving the
medullary canal, nutrient vessel, endosteum, periosteum
LATENCY PERIOD: Initial healing response is allowed to
bridge the cut surfaces before distraction is initiated.
Rate: no of millimeter that the bone surfaces are pulled apart
each day.
Rhythm: no of distractions per day
Healing index: no of centimeters of N.B divided by no of
months from the surgery to date of full wt bearing.
Transformation osteogenesis: conversion of non osseous
tissues such as fibrocartilage in nonunion in to normal bone.
Done through comb compression & distraction forces,
augmented by corticotomy.
Bone transportation: regeneration of intercalary B.D through
corticotomy & distraction & tranf. Osteogenesis.
Critical factors for B. formation
Stability of fixation [circular F]
Atraumatic corticotomy.
Rate
Rhythm of distraction.
HISTOLOGY
LATENCY P: similar to # healing
DISTRACTION P: mesenchymal cells begin to organize in to
bridge of collagen & immature vascular sinusoids, bridge formed
always parallel to direction of distraction.
I Week Distraction: central zone of relatively avascular fibrous
tissue bridges the 7 mm of C.gap.
FIZ: fibrous interzone [no osteoid/ O.B]
Distraction osteogenesis
II WEEK - Distraction
Clusters of osteoblasts appear on each side of FIZ adj to vascular
sinuses.
Collagen bundles fuse with osteoid like M.
1* bone spicules –enlarge gradually by circumferential
apposition.
Later osteoid began to mineralize the 1*B.S  PMF[primary
mineralisation front]
PMF – extend from both corticotomy site, towards the central
FIZ.
III Week
Mineralization process continues.
As the gap increases, bridge is formed by elongation of bone
spicules.
Large thin sinusoids surround each micro column of new
bone  MCF [micro column formation].
At the end of D., FIZ ossifies & MCF unifies completely
bridging the gap.
Microcolumn new bone formation
Physiology
Fibrous interzone assumes the role of growth plate. [pseudo
G.P]
Intramembranous ossification in its purest form. [if stability]
Local & regional blood supply is most important determining
factor.
Pathophysiology
Excessive rate
Sporadic rhythm
Frame stability
Poor local & regional stability
Traumatic corticotomy
Inadequate consolidation phase.
Initial diastasis.
Rate & Rhythm: biosynthetic pathways at cellular levels , protein
synthesis & mitosis.
Macromotion: [shear force] disrupt the delicate bone & vascular
channels
Peripheral vascular disease
Traumatic corticotomy- disturb the local blood flow
Initial diastasis- inhibit the formation of 1* fibrovascular bridge.
Indications for increase in R & R
Young Pt [up to 12-14 yrs]
X ray  premature consolidation.
X ray  uncompleted bone cut at the site of corticotomy.
In any event, increase in distraction speed & rhythm cannot
exceed 2 mm/ day.
Indication for reduction
 Severe pain at the site of distraction, esp after creating 3-4
cm gap.
 Clinical signs of peripheral vascular & neurological
deficiency.
 X ray slow development of regeneration
Reduction in D cann’t be less than .25- .50 mm/ day .
Ilizarov recommended that the number of actual distractions
(rhythm of distraction) should be at least four, achieving a
total of 1 mm of total distraction (rate of distraction) in four
divided doses.
constant distraction over a 24-hour period produces a
significant increase in the regenerate quality
ASSESSMENT
Corticotomy: check for completeness in C-arm. Distracting
<2 mm, angulation < 10-15*, rotating < 20-30*.
Adequate reduction of corticotomy gap.
Length & alignment of D.G checked weekly or biweekly by
X ray.
N.B mineralization appears by 3rd
wk of D. –fuzzy,
radiodense columns extending from both cut surfaces
N.B formation should span entire cross sectional area of host
bone cut surfaces.
N.B appears bulging, FIZ is narrowing distraction should be
accelerated.
N.B shows as hour glass appearance, FIZ widens D. rate
reduced.
USG: not regularly used. Cyst formation stop distraction, gap is
gradually closed.
QCT: [Quantitative C.T] measuring the mineralization of
osteogenic area.
Compared with similar region on normal contralateral limb
described as % of normal.
Normally FIZ- 25-35%, PMF- 40-55%, MCF- 60-70%.
Triphasic bone scan: both sides of distraction gap should be
hot in all three phases.
If it is cold, stop distraction.
consolidation
Plain x rays – monthly basis, condition of the cortex &
medullary canal are noted in the osteogenic area –
orthogonal views
Bone density may appear reduced.
QCT- demonstrates stability.
ACCORDION TECH
Monofocal compression- distraction tech for nonunion
treatment.
Alternate compression & distraction maneuver is used 2-3
times to stimulate bone neogenesis.
Local scar tissues are initially crushed to be transformed in to
tissues capable of neogenesis.
