Abstract

Frontal sinus injuries make up only 5% to 15% of facial skeletal fractures. These injures are the result of high-force trauma often associated with assault or motor vehicle accidents. The majority of patients are young males aged 20-30 years old with no racial disparity. Management of anterior table (AT) fractures, posterior table (PT) fractures, and fractures with frontal sinus outflow tract (FSOT) involvement vary from conservative approaches to more invasive sinus obliteration and cranialization techniques. The aim of this study is to describe the current surgical techniques utilized by various surgical subspecialists who manage craniomaxillofacial injuries for the treatment of frontal sinus injuries.
