A frontal pattern for frontocranial remodeling.
In early 1983 we developed a frontal pattern to aid in remodeling the forehead in craniosynostosis. We also designed a rigid wire to assist in checking the proper curvature of the supraorbital bar. In approximately 150 frontocranial remodelings the pattern has proved very useful and has simplified the procedure.
