Introduction: We describe our technique of using reverse frontal bone graft for FOAR for patients with metopic or coronal synostosis and present our complications using the Leeds classification system for complications in craniosynostosis surgery.
Methods: Since April 2015, seventeen patients have been operated using this technique. We perform a frontal bone graft that is then reversed, and supraorbital margins are drilled out. The orbital bar is then removed and drilled down to make bone dust and on-lay bone grafts which are then used to fill gaps on exposed dura and fill in around the temporal region.
Results: All 17 patients who underwent this technique have good cosmetic results. We report 5 (29%) complications and 8 (47%) blood transfusions (7 exposures, 1 cell salvage).

Objective: To investigate the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial trauma (MFT) and its association with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is an association between MFT and TBI and that higher incidences of TBI are associated with frontal bone and mid-facial fractures. Despite the large volume of maxillofacial facial fractures treated in the authors' unit, no study has been undertaken to establish the relationship between TBI and maxillofacial fractures.

Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a fairly common generalized connective disorder characterized by low bone mass, bone deformities and impaired bone quality that predisposes affected individuals to musculoskeletal fragility. Periodontal ligament (PDL)-alveolar bone and PDL-cementum entheses' roles under OI conditions during physiological loading and orthodontic forces remain largely unknown. In addition, bisphosphonates (e.

Background: Patients with transfemoral amputation experience socket-related problems and musculoskeletal overuse injuries, both of which are exacerbated by asymmetric joint loading and alignment. Bone-anchored limbs are a promising alternative to treat chronic socket-related problems by directly attaching the prosthesis to the residual limb through an osseointegrated implant; however, it remains unknown how changes in alignment facilitated through a bone-anchored limb relate to loading asymmetry.
Questions/purposes: What is the association between femur-pelvis alignment and hip loading asymmetry during walking before and 12 months after transfemoral bone-anchored limb implantation?
Methods: Between 2019 and 2022, we performed 66 bone-anchored limb implantation surgeries on 63 individuals with chronic socket-related problems.

Objective: Isolated craniosynostosis of the sagittal suture results in scaphocephaly characterized by a long, narrow skull. Surgical correction of this condition remains debated, particularly regarding the necessity of directly addressing frontal bossing. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of extended strip craniectomy combined with bilateral barrel staving in improving cranial morphology without direct intervention on the forehead.
