Surgical Correction of Unicoronal Synostosis: Fronto-Orbital Distraction versus Calvarial Switch Open
Background: There is a need for a new, less-invasive surgical option for unicoronal synostosis (UCS). The aim of this study was to compare the resulting morphology and symmetry in patients with UCS after fronto-orbital distraction (FOD) or…

Spring-Assisted Surgery of Unilambdoid Craniosynostosis Open
Craniosynostosis is traditionally treated with extensive cranial vault reconstructions (CVRs). Although less invasive techniques, such as endoscopic strip craniectomy with postoperative helmet therapy, have been successful, they also prese…

Correction of Unicoronal Synostosis With Springs: Two Patients With Improved Facial Symmetry Open
Objective: Surgical correction of unicoronal synostosis (UCS) entails extensive cranioplasties which do not address facial scoliosis. This paper presents the first results with springs that motivated the shift from extensive cranioplasties…

Improved Facial and Skull-Base Symmetry following Osteotomy and Distraction of Unilateral Coronal Synostosis Open
Background: Unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) results in a surgically demanding deformation, as the deformity is asymmetric in the calvaria but also presents with facial scoliosis and orbital dystopia. Traditional cranioplasties correct …
