    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Skeletal fixation techniques

    Background:

    • Standard skeletal fixation methods can fail in cases of severe bone injury.
    • Avulsion and comminution of fixation points present significant challenges in orthopedic trauma management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel technique for skeletal suspension using a temporal screw.
    • To present an alternative fixation method for complex orthopedic cases.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique utilizing a temporal screw for skeletal suspension was developed and described.
    • Application of the temporal screw as an alternative fixation point.

    Main Results:

    • The temporal screw technique provides a method for skeletal suspension.
    • This technique is applicable when conventional fixation points are compromised.

    Conclusions:

    • The temporal screw offers a valuable alternative for skeletal suspension in challenging orthopedic scenarios.
    • This method addresses limitations posed by avulsion or comminution of standard fixation sites.
