Endoscopic assisted reduction of fracture anterior table of frontal sinus

SIVAKUMAR MANICKAM

Abstract


Abstract : Frontal sinus fractures account for only 5-15 of
maxillofacial injuries. They are commonly associated with
motor vehicle crashes, sporting events and assaults. Isolated
anterior table of frontal sinus injuries account for 33-39 of
frontal sinus fractures. These injuries believe to carry a low
risk of long term morbidity and primary result in
aesthetic deformities. Historically, open reduction and rigid
fixation of fracture using coronal incision was done in the
past. Now due to recent development of instrumentation and
endoscopic brow lifting allowed access to fracture
reduction without the need of coronal incision.
