Abstract
This review summarizes the contemporary management of frontal sinus fractures. Recent additions to the armamentarium of the facial trauma surgeon include bioresorbable plates and screws, and attempts to use endoscopic techniques when feasible. The basic principles of frontal sinus fracture management remain the same. New approaches and new instruments help make repair easier, safer, and more cosmetically acceptable.Keywords
