Evaluating the Bicoronal Incision Approach in Frontal Bone Fracture Management Using Titanium Mesh and Miniplates: An Original Research Study
- 1. International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR)
Description
Abstract
Background: Frontal bone fractures, often resulting from high-impact trauma, pose significant challenges in craniofacial reconstruction. The bicoronal incision approach, combined with titanium mesh and miniplates, has been utilized for effective management of such fractures.
Objective: To assess the efficacy, aesthetic outcomes, and complication rates associated with the bicoronal incision approach in the surgical management of frontal bone fractures using titanium mesh and miniplates.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted involving patients presenting with frontal bone fractures requiring surgical intervention. All patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) via a bicoronal incision, utilizing titanium mesh and miniplates for reconstruction. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated based on aesthetic results, functional recovery, and incidence of complications over a 6-month follow-up period.
Results: The study included 10 patients (9 males, 1 females) aged between 20 and 65 years. The majority of fractures resulted from road traffic accidents. All patients demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic outcomes with minimal scarring. Functional recovery, including mastication and occlusion, was rated as excellent in 83% of cases. No major complications, such as infection, CSF leak or implant rejection, were observed.
Conclusion: The bicoronal incision approach, when combined with titanium mesh and miniplates, offers a reliable and effective method for the management of frontal bone fractures, ensuring favorable aesthetic and functional outcomes with a low complication rate.
