Study design case report. Objective present a transcutaneous approach to treat a fracture of the anterior wall of the frontal bone with low level of comminution. Methods the fracture was studied in detail with computed tomography (CT) and the patient was treated with a closed reduction of a midfacial bone fracture with the use of transcutaneous screws. Results Optimal aesthetic result was achieved without any adverse event up. CT at 6-month follow-up demonstrated good bone alignment of the anterior wall of the fractured frontal sinus. Conclusion Closed approaches, when well indicated, can be an interesting treatment option for isolated fractures of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus with low levels of comminution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
