There were no significant or rather helpful external cuts or clws over the face. We ignored the frontal fixation as the fracture line was very much near to the right cribriform and there was per se no cosmetic deformity. Fixation of maxilla, left lateral orbital wall, and zygomaticomaxillary buttress was done along with Nasal bone fixation.
Its a frontal bone depressed fracture. If there is no csf leak excise boefragments&cranioplasty. Then or later.

Approach: Bicoronal- frontal table repair with frontal sinus exploration+externalization with debridement, packing and plating of anterior table and supraorbital rim. Lower eyelid Blepharoplasty- bilateral infraorbital rims ( six holed orbital plate) and orbital floor exploration. Keen's- bilateral priform and bilateral buttress (four holed L shaped plate). Eyebrow approach- left supraorbital rim if you are not planning frontal table repair otherwise bicoronal will be effective. Intubation- submental intubation. Down top fixation, First fix the maxilla with arch bar once you achieve occlusion of jaws, you can go ahead with fixation of Lower, upper and middle face.
Pyriform margin fixation
