Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) effectively reconstructs frontal bone deformities. A minimally invasive approach using PMMA showed promising preliminary results for acquired bony deformities.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Frontal bone deformities require reconstructive solutions.
  • Autogenous and alloplastic materials are used for correction.
  • Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is an effective biomaterial for reconstruction.

Observation:

  • A case of acquired frontal bone deformity was presented.
  • Treatment involved subperiosteal application of PMMA.
  • A minimally invasive coronal approach was utilized.

Findings:

  • The subperiosteal application of PMMA was successful in reconstruction.
  • The minimally invasive coronal approach facilitated the procedure.
  • Preliminary results indicate the method is promising.
