Abstract:
The authors report two cases of closed reduction of the anterior wall of the frontal bone. In the first case, the fractured segment was successfully reduced with a small periosteal elevator. In the second case, a tip of the periosteal elevator was broken during maneuvering the fractured bone and lost into the sinus cavity. The sinus was opened to retrieve the broken piece and repaired by internal fixation. The technique has a few merits: (1) the procedure is simple; (2) the operation time is short; and (3) only a small incision is needed.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
