“Bone Mapping/Sketching” in Management of Anterior Table Frontal Sinus Fracture

A Review of Subbrow Approach in the Management of Non-Complicated Anterior Table Frontal Sinus Fracture

Frontal sinus fractures, particularly anterior sinus fractures, are relatively common facial fractures. Many agree on the general principles of frontal fracture management; however, the optimal methods of reduction are controversial. The subbrow approach enables accurate reduction and internal fixation of the fractures in the anterior table of the frontal sinus by allowing direct visualization ...

Endoscopic repair of isolated anterior table frontal sinus fractures.

BACKGROUND Recently developed endoscopic brow-lifting techniques and instrumentation are being used for treatment of anterior table frontal sinus fractures. Potential endoscopic treatment options include fracture reduction with or without plating and fracture repair with hydroxyapatite bone cement (HA). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of miniplates and HA for repair of anterior table fract...

Contemporary Management of Frontal Sinus Injuries and Frontal Bone Fractures

Frontal Sinus Fracture

DESCRIPTION A 27-year-old man with head trauma after a motor vehicle collision.

Managment of frontal sinus fracture: obliteration sinus with cancellous bone graft.

Frontal sinus fractures make up about 2-15% of all facial fractures.This is relatively low frequency of occurrence, but it has a large potential of complication and may involve not only the frontal sinuse but more importantly the brain and the eyes. The management depends of the complexity. If anterior wall is fractured with grossly involved nasofrontal duct (NFD) in the injury it is paramount ...
