Frontal Cranioplasty with Vascularized Split-iliac Crest Bone Flap

Summary:. Defects of the frontal bone require thoughtful consideration of reconstructive material to satisfy the aesthetic and functional demands of the region, as well as the anatomic adjacency to the frontal sinus. Some cases may be further complicated by a suboptimal operative field due to prior...
