Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the condylar resorption and influencing factors in post mandibular distraction osteogenesis of the hemifacial microsomia patients.Methods:This retrospective study investigated the clinical data of hemifacial microsomia patients who underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2008 to August 2021. Three-dimensional models of pre-operation and pre-distractor extraction were created by the analysis of CT data via ProPlan CMF 3.0. The height and volume of the condyle were measured. Data were analyzed statistically. According to the changes of condylar height and volume pre- and post-operation, the condylar height resorption rate and volume resorption rate could be calculated. The volume resorption rate of the affected side between Type-Ⅱa and Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia patients, hemifacial microsomia patients whether wearing a bite plate, prereproductive and adolescent hemifacial microsomia patients were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test. The Spearman correlation coefficient analysis was used to determine the correlations of the condylar volume resorption rate and condylar height resorption rate in the affected side with measurements of elogation distance, preoperative condylar height, patient age, and distractor remaining time in mandible. P<0.05 indicates that the difference was statistically significant. Results:Forty-seven Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia patients(36 male patients, 11 female patients) were included, patient age ranged from 5 to 20 years and the mean age was (8.49±2.60) years, 36 patients were in the prereproductive age(5-<10 years old), and 11 patients were in the adolescent age(10-20 years old). Forty-six Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia patients(34 male patients, 12 female patients) were included, patient age ranged from 5 to 20 years and the mean age was (8.93±3.43) years. Thirty-six patients were in the prereproductive age(5-<10 years-old), and ten patients were in the adolescent age(10-20 years-old). The follow-up period of Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia patients was (8.49±2.60) months, and the follow-up period of Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia patients was (9.79±2.59) months. Facial asymmetry was improved effectively. Surgical part of the bone had good osteogenesis. Mouth opening and closing, speech, and eating were all normal. The condylar volume resorption rate 34.8%(19.1%, 54.3%) in the affected side of Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia was significantly associated with the elogation distance ( r=0.46, P=0.001), and it had no correlation with the height of the affected condyle ( r=-0.12, P=0.421), age of patients ( r=-0.06, P=0.691), and distractor remaining time in mandible ( r=-0.10, P=0.517). The condylar volume resorption rate 61.0%(11.2%, 95.0%) in the affected side of Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia was significantly associated with the height of the affected condyle ( r=-0.45, P=0.002) and had weak correlation with the elogation distance ( r=0.29, P=0.049), and it had no correlation with age of patients ( r=0.06, P=0.705), and distractor remaining time in mandible ( r=0.21, P=0.157). However, there was no significant difference in terms of the condylar volume resorption rate of the affected side between Type-Ⅱa and Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia ( z=-1.90, P=0.058). Whether the hemifacial microsomia patients wearing a bite plate following mandibular distraction osteogenesis did not affect the condylar volume resorption rate of the affected side ( z=-1.17, P=0.242 in Type-Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia, z=-0.17, P=0.869 in Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia). The condylar volume resorption rate of the affected side had no significant difference between prereproductive and adolescent hemifacial microsomia patients ( z=-0.18, P=0.860 in Type Ⅱa hemifacial microsomia, z=-1.50, P=0.134 in Type-Ⅱb hemifacial microsomia). Conclusion:Condylar resorption of the affected side would happen in post mandibular distraction osteogenesis of the hemifacial microsomia patients, and the condylar resorption rate of the affected side has relationship with the elogation distance and affected preoperative condylar height.
