Abstract

 Fractures of the frontal bone make up from 5 to 15% of all fractures of the facial skeleton. Treatment of such fractures complicates the presence of intracranial pathology. The key factor determining the tactics of surgical treatment of fracture of the frontal bone is damage to its walls, and the function of frontal-nose constitution. The gold standard for the diagnosis of fracture severity is a 1.5 millimeter SCT. The goals of surgical treatment of fractures of the frontal bone and sinuses are: protection of intracranial structures, sealing of the cavity of the skull; prevention of early and late purulent-inflammatory complications; correction of aesthetically significant deformation and restoration of the shape of the frontal area. Surgical tactics for fractures of the walls of the SF is determined by the degree of displacement of the bone fragments of the anterior and posterior walls, the presence of a fracture in the region of the frontal and nasal constitution, which leads to a violation of its drainage function. Tactics with fractures of the walls of the SF is determined by the degree of displacement of the bone fragments of the anterior and posterior walls, the presence of a fracture in the region of the frontal and nasal singing of the mouth, and is reduced to observation, open repositioning and fixation of bone fragments with the preservation of the function of SF, obliteration or cranialization of SF. It all depends on the type and severity of the injury. With fractures of the anterior wall of the SF without displacement it is necessary to observe, fracture of the anterior wall with a displacement of more than 2 mm can cause cosmetic significant deformation, and cause distortion of the face and repositioning of bone fragments. The greatest controversy is the choice of tactics in the treatment of fractures that extend over the frontal nasal constriction and the back wall of the SF. Of great importance in choosing the method of treatment for this category of patients is the presence of a fracture of the posterior wall with the displacement of the debris more than the thickness of the bone, which can lead to the posterior liquorrhea, and the development of intracranial complications.

Keywords
