Title: Angiogenesis and Mineralization During Distraction Osteogenesis
Post by: myloginacc on July 06, 2018, 09:23:50 PM

Interesting paper to learn a bit more about the more intricate details of distraction osteogenesis, from the Journal of Korean Medical Science. Bear in mind it is from 2002. Our understanding has certainly significantly expanded since then. If I find a similar, more up-to-date paper, I'll share it here.

Reviving this thread once.

Despite the age of this paper, I think it contains some interesting information regarding how the body reacts to distraction LL and its unnatural stretching of soft tissues.

Can you post a summary of what you understood? From what I read it seems like a pretty incredible process that works. But were there any red flags you got from reading the paper?
