Ongoing Research
Research is continuing on a longitudinal study of growth and development of patients having craniofacial surgery. The study is in conjunction with a physical anthropologist in the Facial Reconstruction Center and the Center for Human Appearance.

Research in conjunction with genetics is also continuing indefinitely on studies to match the fibroblast growth factor receptors status with clinical manifestations of synostosis syndrome.

Clinical studies of an analysis and modification of nasal reconstruction principles.

Also in progress are clinical studies on distraction osteogenesis and bone cement.

New Research
Development of a partially buried mandibular distraction device. The design and implementation stages are complete, and the device will be marketed in conjunction with the Synthes Maxillofacial Company, Inc. of Paoli, Pennsylvania. Research is continuing, also with the Synthes Maxillofacial Company, on an implantable mid-face distraction device.

The long term effects of facial trauma in infants and children on craniofacial growth.

The long term outcome of patients with Pierce Rohin anomalies treated in infancy.

Evolution of techniques in the treatment of craniosynostosis.

Facial nerve neurectomy in the treatment of aesthetic surgery of the face.
