1Department of Trauma and Emergency Medicine, AIIMS, Bhopal, MP India.
Purpose:
The aim of this present article was to know the efficacy of bone mapping/sketching in management of anterior table frontal sinus fracture.
Material And Methods:
This prospective clinical study includes 10 patients who reported to department of dentistry, AIIMS Bhopal with anterior table frontal sinus fracture. Sterile plain white paper or a glove cover was used for mapping/sketching. The patients were evaluated for post-operative contour of the fractured frontal sinus defect and any mucocele formation.
Results:
All the 10 patients had no infection or post-operative mucocele formation and all have excellent aesthetic of the anterior table of the frontal sinus.
Conclusion:
Bone mapping/sketching should be done in all comminuted fractures of cranio-maxillofacial region.

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,...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
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...
