The hammer puller technique was applied for left-sided fractures and the dissector technique for right-sided fractures. The variables evaluated were fracture repair time, fracture volume, fracture corrected volume, and fracture correction percentage. Fractures were separated into groups according to the surgical technique used (hammer or dissector) and the bone fractured (frontal or parietal). Statistical analysis was performed with Jamovi\u00ae software (version 2.3) using Student\u2019s <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A complete degree of fracture correction was achieved with both techniques, demonstrating a sufficient performance in the correction of the deformity. The hammer technique was shown to be faster in correcting frontal bone depressions with 20.1 \u00b1 7.8 s compared to 31.3 \u00b1 4.7 s for the dissector technique, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001.

Comparative analysis showed that both techniques were equally effective but that the hammer puller technique was more efficient than the dissector elevation technique, especially for frontal bone fractures.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_141_2024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T09:50:15Z","timestamp":1717149015000},"page":"180","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A new device to treat ping-pong skull fractures: The hammer puller technique.
