Comment on: “Reverse umbrella technique – percutaneous reduction of frontal bone fracture using an intermaxillary fixation screw device”

Frontal bone fracture is a common facial bone fracture which commonly involved the outer table part. Most of the time outer table fracture is treated conservatively. However, when there is involvement of orbital wall fracture, as well as entrapment of extraocular muscle, surgical intervention via open reduction and internal fixation is needed. We described a case of outer table frontal bone fracture with left orbital roof fracture complicated with superior rectus muscle entrapment which was successfully treated via open reduction and internal fixation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 03 July’18.

Abstract Aim We present our experience in the management of frontal bone fractures using the previously described radiologic classification of frontal bone fractures. Methodology A retrospective study was conducted, which reviewed the medical records and computed tomographic (CT) scan images of patients with frontal bone fracture from January 2016 to February 2019. Patients with complete medical records and a follow-up of minimum 1 year were included in the study. Demographic details, mechanism of injury, associated intracranial injuries, maxillofacial fractures, management, and complications were analyzed. CT scan images were used to classify the frontal bone fractures using the novel classification given by Garg et al (2014). The indications for surgical treatment were inner table frontal sinus fracture with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, intracranial hematoma with significant mass effect requiring surgical evacuation, and outer table comminuted fracture that is either causing nasofrontal duct obstruction or for cosmetic purpose. Results A total of 55 patients were included in the study. Road traffic accidents as the commonest cause of frontal bone fractures. The most common fracture pattern was type 1 followed by type 5 and depth B followed by depth A. Four patients presented with CSF rhinorrhea. CSF rhinorrhea was more frequent with fracture extension to the skull base (depth B, C, D), which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion Frontal bone fracture management has to be tailor-made for each patient based on the extent of the fracture, presence of CSF leak, and associated intracranial and maxillofacial injuries.

Teeth displacement during extractions even tough rare are extremely unwanted, especially for infra temporal space. This accident generally necessitate additional treatment for their resolution, being either immediate or late. Several authors discribed surgical techniques for removal displaced teeth into the infratemporal space, varying according to the degree of displacement, being that in some of this cases, is necessary the utilization of complementary tools. This case describes the technique utilized for late removal of tooth 18 (upper right third molar) dislocated into the lower portion of the infratemporal space (confirmed by the Cone Bean Computer tomography Scan), exam was performed after the patient reported pain in the operated region and during mandibular movement too, with an interincisal opening maximum of 20 millimeters. The procedure was realized under local anesthesia by a conservative intraoral approach and aid of intermaxillary fixation screw to facilitate extraction. The patient recovered well, without complications, with remission of pain and restoration of mouth opening.

Introduction: Frontonasal fracture and concomitant craniofacial injuries carry the significant potential for mortality and morbidity mainly in young adults. This study analyses the characteristics of frontonasal injuries and associated facial injuries, the management option, and its outcome. Methods: This retrospective study was performed at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery and Neurosurgery, Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal. Patients who had undergone surgery for cranial and midline facial bone fracture between January 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. The variable examined were age, sex, alcohol consumption, any chronic diseases, time from accident to surgery, duration of hospitalization, and postoperative complication. Continuous variables were expressed as mean± standard deviation, and categorical variables were expressed as number or percentage. All analyses were performed using SPSS software 26.0. Results: The majority of patients were in the 3rd to 4th decade (67.1%). The most common cause was Road traffic accidents 45(59.2%). Twenty Five (32.9%) patients had consumed alcohol at the time of the accident. Among midline anterior fracture most common finding was nasal bone fracture 42(55.3%). Frontal bone fracture was seen in 9(11.8%) cases. Closed reduction of nasal bone was performed in 43(56.58%) cases. Craniotomy and elevation of depressed frontal bone was done in 10.53% of cases. Conclusion: Road traffic accidents were found to be the commonest mode of frontonasal trauma and males in young adult age group were the most common victim. The most common injuries were nasal bone fracture which was managed by closed reduction.
