Summary
Frontal sinus fractures (FSF) are uncommon injuries often caused by car accidents. This case study shows titanium mesh effectively reconstructs comminuted anterior wall FSF, restoring frontal bone contour with no complications.
Area of Science:
- Maxillofacial Surgery
- Trauma Surgery
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Frontal sinus fractures (FSF) are infrequent yet complex maxillofacial injuries.
- Motor vehicle accidents are the primary cause, accounting for 62% of FSF cases.
- Treatment decisions for FSF are guided by fracture severity, associated injuries, and naso-frontal duct involvement.
