Distraction Osteogenesis Devices Market
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) refers to a new bone formation process between the vascular surfaces of the osteotomized bone sections, separated slowly due to distraction forces. It is a process used in various orthopedic as well as other surgical procedures. Distraction osteogenesis is performed by surgical simulation of bone fractures with the help of osteotomy of the deficient bone. The process of natural fracture healing is occurred via a series of cellular and molecular events due to injury.
The formation of hematoma, after angiogenesis and chondrogenesis, ultimately results into the formation of the hard callus via endochondral and intramembranous ossification. The process of distraction osteogenesis is gaining popularity as it is more beneficial than other traditional techniques employed for the bone defects management, specifically bone grafting. The procedure offers concurrent expansion of the functional soft tissue matrix, which is referred to as distraction histogenesis.
During the process of distraction osteogenesis, the use of mechanical forces to the bone segments changes the repair progression of the osteotomized bone segments, which is considered as a characteristic aspect of fracture healing, to a regenerative procedure. The mechanotransduction mechanisms assessment has showed that tensile forces boost the expression of bone morphogenic proteins through osteoblasts and encourage for the formation of intramembranous bone.
Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) is defined as the formation of a new bone between the vascular surfaces of the osteotomized bone segments, separated gradually by distraction forces. It is a process employed in orthopedic and some other surgeries. Distraction Osteogenesis is carried out by surgical simulation of bone fractures via osteotomy of the deficient bone. Normal fracture healing occurs through a cascade of molecular and cellular events triggered in response to an injury. Formation of hematoma, followed by chondrogenesis and angiogenesis, eventually leads to formation of the hard callus by means of intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Distraction Osteogenesis proves advantageous over other conventional methods used for the management of bone defects, particularly bone grafting, wherein it provides simultaneous expansion of the functional soft tissue matrix, referred to as distraction histogenesis. During distraction Osteogenesis, however, the application of mechanical forces to the bone segments alters the repair process of the osteotomized bone segments, which is a characteristic feature of fracture healing, to a regenerative process. Evaluation of mechanotransduction mechanisms has demonstrated that tensile forces increase the expression of bone morphogenic proteins by osteoblasts and stimulate intramembranous bone formation.

Rising prevalence of pediatric bone defects
The skeleton is continuously renewed through bone remodeling. Bone remodeling is a lifelong process wherein a mature bone is broken down by osteoclasts and a new bone is formed by osteoblasts. Bone formation on the outer periosteal surface increases the bone size, while resorption expands the marrow cavity and sculpts the outer surface of the bone. In children, linear growth occurs through strictly regulated, site-specific uncoupling of bone formation and resorption, which is termed as bone modeling.
Advancements in distractor devices such as miniaturized internal and external devices, easy placing, and easy handling
Lengthening of underdeveloped bones inclusive of the maxillofacial complex is attained by distraction Osteogenesis. Devices used for distraction Osteogenesis must have a minimum of two important features: they should be able to transfer distraction forces directly to the bone and, secondly, they should offer adequate rigidity for osseous consolidation to occur. The design of completely internalized custom-made appliances has opened new avenues in the field of oral & maxillofacial surgery. Indigenous internal devices are also economical and locally available.
Development of innovative solutions by manufacturers of distraction Osteogenesis devices
Recent studies have revealed that distraction Osteogenesis (DO) performed by using an automatic continuous distractor. Distraction force with high-resolution positioning control, along with a small-sized distractor placed in the oral cavity, can help in improving the result of the reconstruction operation, leading to a successful distraction Osteogenesis procedure in a short period of time.
The high cost of the entire treatment, and requirement for a second surgical procedure for removal of internal distractors are factors expected to hamper the global distraction Osteogenesis devices market during the forecast period.
