Endoscopic osteosynthesis for frontal bone fracture.
Endoscopic surgery to repair a frontal bone fracture is described. This operation is less invasive than the conventional open technique, which is performed under direct vision through a bicoronal or eyebrow incision. Endoscopic surgery leaves no conspicuous scars in the forehead and is free from complications such as nerve or vascular injuries, and appears to be of significant clinical value.
