title: Nonrepair of exposed frontal bone after Mohs' surgery for extensive basal cell carcinoma.
abstract: When it is necessary to expose frontal bone with or without periosteum after Mohs' surgery for extensive carcinomas of the forehead, simple wound care will allow granulations to cover the bone and healing will be complete. In situations where it is not advisable to cover exposed frontal bone with or without periosteum, simple care of the defects should allow complete healing.
