title: Isolated supraorbital rim fracture displaced out of scalp: a case report.
abstract: Isolated fractures of the supraorbital rim are rarely seen. In this report, an isolated supraorbital rim fracture is presented in which the segment of the rim was completely removed from its location onto the frontal bone in a traffic accident. It was thought to be a foreign body and was delivered outside the scalp in the emergency service. It was replaced 24 hours after the trauma, and the patient healed without any problem.
