Surgical Treatment of Unicoronal Synostosis: A Simplified Technique without Orbital Osteotomy.

Background: Although referrals for nonsyndromic frontal plagiocephaly have been increased during the past several years, successful surgical repair of unicoronal synostosis (UCS) remains a challenge for craniofacial surgeons.
