The management of frontal sinus fractures has evolved in the endoscopic era. The development of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has been incorporated into management algorithms proposed by otolaryngologists, but the extent of its influence on plastic surgeons and oral and maxillofacial surgeons is heretofore unknown. A cross-sectional survey was performed to assess the practice pattern variations in frontal sinus fracture management across multiple surgical disciplines. A total of 298 surveys were reviewed. 33.5% were facial plastic surgeons with otolaryngology training, 25.8% general otolaryngologists, 25.5% plastic surgeons, and 15.1% oral and maxillofacial surgeons. 74.8% of respondents practiced in an academic setting. 61.7% felt endoscopic sinus surgery changed their management of frontal sinus fractures. 91.8% of respondents favored observation for uncomplicated, nondisplaced frontal sinus outflow tract fractures. 36.4% favored observation and 35.9% favored endoscopic sinus surgery for uncomplicated, displaced frontal sinus outflow tract fractures. For complicated, displaced frontal sinus outflow tract fractures, obliteration was more frequently favored by plastic surgeons and oral and maxillofacial surgeons than those with otolaryngology training. The utility of FESS in managing frontal sinus fractures appears to be recognized across multiple surgical disciplines.

“…However, its disadvantages include a long operation time, difficult surgical technique, and incomplete fixation [ 15 ]. In the case of reduction using the transnasal approach, a second sinusotomy is possible [ 16 ]. However, this is true only in cases of non-displaced outer-table fractures, and fixation is difficult.…”

Background: Frontal sinus fractures are relatively rare. Their surgical management significantly differs depending on whether the posterior wall is invaded and the clinical features vary. A bicoronal incision or endoscopic approach can be used. However, the minimally invasive approach has been attracting attention, leading us to introduce a simple and effective surgical method using multiple-threaded Kirschner wires.Methods: All patients had isolated anterior wall fractures without nasofrontal duct impairment. The depth from the skin to the posterior wall was measured using computed tomography to prevent injury. The edge of the bone segment on the skin was marked, a threaded Kirschner wire was inserted into the center of the bone segment, and multiple Kirschner wires were gently reduced simultaneously.Results: Surgery was performed on 11 patients. Among them, seven patients required additional support for appropriate fracture reduction. Therefore, a periosteal elevator was used as an adjunct through a small sub-brow incision because the reduction was incomplete with the Kirschner wire alone. The reduction results were confirmed using facial bone computed tomography 1 to 3 days postoperatively. The follow-up period was 3 to 12 months.Conclusion: The patients had no complications and were satisfied with the surgical results. Here we demonstrated an easy and successful procedure to reduce a pure anterior wall frontal sinus fracture via non-invasive threaded Kirschner wire reduction.

“…El manejo depende de la patogénesis de la lesión, el tratamiento es guiado por los principios básicos de una adecuada movilización de la fractura, su reducción y fijación (1). El objetivo del tratamiento es restaurar la función, prevenir complicaciones tempranas y tardías, protección de estructuras craneales y obtener un buen resultado estético, el cual es considerado un objetivo secundario (8,9,13,(19)(20)(21).…”

Este método mínimamente invasivo, ofrece una alternativa para el tratamiento del seno frontal y permite una resección amplia del suelo del seno frontal para facilitar el drenaje.…”

ResumenDesde la época de Reidel (1898) han sido considerables los avances en el manejo del trauma frontal; sin embargo, el tratamiento para este trauma sigue siendo controvertido y si por alguna circunstancia el manejo no es el adecuado, se pueden presentar serias complicaciones. En este articulo se reportan siete casos manejados por el servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial del Hospital Militar Central (HMC) de Bogotá, Colombia, y se hace una revisión de la literatura sobre manejo de fracturas de seno frontal y las diferentes técnicas utilizadas, especialmente en la obliteración del receso frontal con los materiales autógenos o aloplásticos disponibles y las complicaciones más frecuentes.Palabras clave: receso frontal, cranealización, desfuncionalización, obliteración, mucocele MANAGEMENT OF FRONTAL TRAUMA. REVIEW LITERATURE AND REPORT OF CASES AbstractSince the work of Reidel (1898), there have been considerable advances in the management of frontal trauma. However, the treatment for this trauma is still controversial, so if given the case of inappropriate management, it can imply serious complications. In this article seven cases handled by the service of Oral Surgery and Maxilofacial of the Central Military Hospital (HMC) of Bogotá-Colombia are reported. A literature review was prepared on managing fracture of frontal sinus and the different technologies used, especially in the frontal recess obliteration with available autogenous or alloplastic materials and the most frequent complications.Key words: frontal recess, cranialization, defunctionalization, obliteration, mucocele ABORDAGEM DE TRAUMA FRONTAL. REVISÃO DA LITERATURA E RELATO DE CASOS ResumoDesde o tempo de Reidel (1898) tem havido avanços consideráveis na abordagem de trauma frontal; porem, o tratamento para o trauma ainda é controverso e se por algum motivo, a abordagem não é adequada, complicações graves podem ocorrer.
