Background: In a frontal sinus reconstruction, the literature primarily recommends a surgical approach for definite treatment with the exception of for anterior wall fractures with no dislocation. Many studies have assessed a range of methods for the reduction of frontal sinus fractures. This paper presents a case, in whom the anterior wall of the frontal sinus was reconstructed using an outer table calvarial bone graft in an en bloc manner. Patient and methods: A 36-year-old male visited the emergency room with a heavy injury to the forehead. He was diagnosed with fractures of the anterior and posterior wall of the frontal sinus. The neurosurgeon removed the fractured area and repaired the meninges. Afterwards, cranialization was performed and the opening of the nasofrontal duct was obstructed. After fixing the removed bone to its original location, all fragments of fractured anterior wall were purged out and the anterior wall reconstructed using an en bloc calvarial bone graft. Results: In the post-operative 8 months period, there were no complications, the round contour of the forehead was expressed well and the patient was satisfied with the result. Conclusion: There are many methods for reconstructing the anterior wall of the frontal sinus. On the other hand, in cases of large fracture sites with many fractured bone fragments, en bloc harvesting of the outer table calvarial bone could be a better choice than making use of only plates and screws because this method shows a good results in terms of aesthetics with a low complication rate.

Background: Frontal sinus fractures are relatively rare. Their surgical management significantly differs depending on whether the posterior wall is invaded and the clinical features vary. A bicoronal incision or endoscopic approach can be used. However, the minimally invasive approach has been attracting attention, leading us to introduce a simple and effective surgical method using multiple-threaded Kirschner wires. Methods: All patients had isolated anterior wall fractures without nasofrontal duct impairment. The depth from the skin to the posterior wall was measured using computed tomography to prevent injury. The edge of the bone segment on the skin was marked, a threaded Kirschner wire was inserted into the center of the bone segment, and multiple Kirschner wires were gently reduced simultaneously. Results: Surgery was performed on 11 patients. Among them, seven patients required additional support for appropriate fracture reduction. Therefore, a periosteal elevator was used as an adjunct through a small sub-brow incision because the reduction was incomplete with the Kirschner wire alone. The reduction results were confirmed using facial bone computed tomography 1 to 3 days postoperatively. The follow-up period was 3 to 12 months. Conclusion: The patients had no complications and were satisfied with the surgical results. Here we demonstrated an easy and successful procedure to reduce a pure anterior wall frontal sinus fracture via non-invasive threaded Kirschner wire reduction.

Purpose: The frontal sinuses are a pair of triangularly shaped, air-filled chambers lined by mucoperiosteum and located between the inner and outer tables of the frontal bone. Until recently, our understanding of gender variations in craniofacial anatomy has been chiefly built upon anthropometric studies, which typically employ facial surface measurements or plain film radiography. The aim of this study i to determine the sizes of the frontal sinus in both sexes in Koreans. Methods: 95 Korean subjects who underwent maxillofacial 3-Dimensional computed tomography (CT) between January 2009 and December 2009 were enrolled. Frontal sinus dimensions and forehead measurements were taken at midline and at 10, 20, and 30 mm to the left and right of midline using sagittal, coronal, and axial images. The data was analyzed for significant differences between measurements made at the selected points in the frontal sinus, for left to right variations, for gender variations, and for racial differences. Results: The mean thickness of the anterior table ranged from 2.31 to 3.23 mm. Mean anteroposterior depth of the frontal sinus ranged from 7.38 to 9.45 mm and did not vary significantly at any distance from midline. Frontal sinus height was greatest at midline (mean=29.24 mm) and progressively lessened at lateral distances. Mean total width at the level of the supraorbital ridge was 53.66 mm. For all measurements, no significant left to right variation was noted. Comparing the sexes, males were found to have greater dimensions in most frontal sinus measurements, though these differences were only found to be significant at or close to midline. The male forehead was marked by more acute nasofrontal angle ($133.3^{\circ}$ versus $141.6^{\circ}$) and a steeper posterior forehead inclination ($14.9^{\circ}$ versus $7.7^{\circ}$). Conclusion: Using CT imaging, forehead and frontal sinus dimensions have been described. Generally, males had larger overall frontal sinus dimensions. And Korean had similar sized frontal sinus to Caucasian in height and width. But in AP distance Korean had lesser measurement. The result of this study may be helpful in the comprehension of normal size of frontal sinus in Korean.

Background: The efficacy and safety of equine cartilage as a competent xenograft material for rhinoplasty were evaluated and compared to the outcomes of rhinoplasty using silicone implants. Methods: We performed a multicenter, double-blind, non-inferiority, and randomized confirmatory study. Fifty-six patients were randomized 1:1 to the study group (using MegaCartilage-E) and control group (using silicone implants). The Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) score, photo documentation, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and adverse event data were obtained until 12 months after surgery. The primary efficacy, which is the change in ROE score 6 months after surgery, was assessed in the modified intention-to-treat set. The secondary efficacy was evaluated in the per-protocol set by assessing the change in ROE score 6 and 12 months after surgery and nasofrontal angle, the height of the nasion, and GAIS 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Results: The change in ROE score of the study group was non-inferior to that of the control group; it increased by 24.26±17.24 in the study group and 18.27±17.60 in the control group (p= 0.213). In both groups, all secondary outcome measures increased, but there was no statistical difference. In the safety set, treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 10 patients (35.71%) in the study group and six patients (21.43%) in the control group (p= 0.237). There were 13 adverse device events in the study group and six adverse device events in the control group (p= 0.515). Conclusion: Processed equine cartilage can be used effectively and safely as xenograft material for rhinoplasty.

치과교정영역에서 컴퓨터기술의 발달로 안면 경조직 및 연조직의 3차원적인 분석이 가능해졌으며 이에 따라 교정환자의 진단과 치료계획 및 치료 후에 연조직의 3차원적인 평가가 가능하게 되었다. 그러나 안면 연조직의 3차원적 분석을 위한 표준화된 기준이 없고 임상적용이 가능한 진단 프로그램은 아직 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3차원 진단 시 유용한 안면 연조직 계측점들의 3차원 계측치(X, Y, Z)를 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 설정된 길이, 각도 및 비율의 정상치를 제시하고자 한다. 3차원 촬영 기구로 비접촉식 3차원 레이저 스캐너를 이용하였으며, 한국 성인 정상교합 자 남녀 각각 30명(남자평균 20.1세, 여자평균 21.7세)을 연구대상으로 하였다. Rapidform 2004 프로그램(Inus Technology Inc., Seoul, Korea)으로 3차원 영상을 만든 후 3차원 입체영상에 soft tissue nasion을 원점으로 하는 좌표계(X축-좌우, Y축-상하, Z축-전후)를 설정하고, 29개의 계측점을 지정한 후 거리계측 45개 항목, 각도 8개 항목, 거리비율 29개 항목을 분석하였다. 각각의 계측점의 3차원 좌표(X, Y, Z)를 구하였으며 이를 바탕으로 각각의 계측항목을 계산하여 표준화하였다. 특히, 각도항목에서 transverse upper lip prominence (Ch(Rt)-ULPm-Ch(Lt))는 남자 $107^{\circ}$, 여자 $106^{\circ}$였고, transverse mandibular prominence (Go'(Rt)-Pog'-Go'(Lt))는 남녀 모두 $76^{\circ}$였다. Naso frontal angle (G-N'-Pn)은 남자 $142^{\circ}$, 여자 $147^{\circ}$, transverse nasal prominence (Zy(Rt)-Pn-Zy(Lt))는 남자 $112^{\circ}$, 여자 $116^{\circ}$로 남녀 간에 통계학적으로 유의차가 있었다 (p<0.05). 하안면고경 하방 2/3 (Li-Me')와 하악체길이(Go'-Me'), 입술고경(ULPm-Li)과 폭경(Ch(Rt)-Ch(Lt))의 비율은 각각 2/5로 나타났다. 관상기준평면에서 안면의 윤곽을 나타내는 계측점인 FT, Zy, Pn, ULPm, Li, Me'까지의 거리의 비는 -1/-1/1/0.5/0.5/-0.6였다. 또한 얻어진 자료를 이용하여 한국 성인 정상교합자의 3차원 안면 모델을 제작하였으며 이는 교정진단 또는 치료결과 비교 시 template로 활용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
