AESTHETIC CORRECTION OF FRONTAL BONE CONTOUR DEFORMITY WITH HYDROXYAPATITE AS BONE GRAFT SUBSTITUTE
Abstract
Depressed frontal bone fractures result
in contour deformity,when primary correction
has not been done.Secondary
correction of such deformities pose difficulties
in reconstruction.Some of the options
for the correction are use of onlay
grafts with autogenous or alloplastic material
or mobilisation of the depressed
bone by osteotomies and fixation.Here is
a case report of depressed frontal bone
deformity correction done with the use of
hydroxyapatite as bone graft substitute.
