Many agree on the general principles of frontal fracture management; however, the optimal methods of reduction are still controversial. In this article, we suggest a simple reduction method using a subbrow incision as a treatment for isolated anterior sinus fractures.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods  Between March 2011 and March 2014, 13 patients with isolated frontal sinus fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through a subbrow incision. The subbrow incision line was designed to be precisely at the lower margin of the brow in order to obtain an inconspicuous scar. A periosteal incision was made at 3 mm above the superior orbital rim. The fracture site of the frontal bone was reduced, and bone fixation was performed using an absorbable plate and screws.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results  Contour deformities were completely restored in all patients, and all patients were satisfied with the results. Scars were barely visible in the long-term follow-up. No complications related to the procedure, such as infection, uncontrolled sinus bleeding, hematoma, paresthesia, mucocele, or posterior wall and brain injury were observed.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions  The subbrow approach allowed for an accurate reduction and internal fixation of the fractures in the anterior table of the frontal sinus by providing a direct visualization of the fracture. Considering the surgical success of the reduction and the rigid fixation, patient satisfaction, and aesthetic problems, this transcutaneous approach through a subbrow incision is concluded to be superior to the other reduction techniques used in the case of an anterior table frontal sinus fracture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2014.41.6.679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,5]],"date-time":"2014-11-05T05:44:06Z","timestamp":1415166246000},"page":"679-685","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Subbrow Approach as a Minimally Invasive Reduction Technique in the Management of Frontal Sinus Fractures"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Yewon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University Medical Center, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun Gon","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University Medical Center, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong Hyeok","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University Medical Center, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ki Il","family":"Uhm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University Medical Center, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soon Heum","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Chungju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheol Keun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Chungju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong In","family":"Jo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Chungju, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79e","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PRS.0000161988.06847.6A","article-title":"Management of frontal sinus fractures","volume":"115","author":"R Yavuzer","year":"2005","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2005-922860","article-title":"Frontal sinus fractures: management guidelines","volume":"21","author":"SE Metzinger","year":"2005","journal-title":"Facial Plast Surg"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.1016\/S0094-1298(20)30905-6","article-title":"Management of frontal sinus fractures.
