AESTHETIC CORRECTION OF FRONTAL BONE CONTOUR DEFORMITY WITH HYDROXYAPATITE AS BONE GRAFT SUBSTITUTE

Depressed frontal bone fractures result in contour deformity,when primary correction has not been done.Secondary correction of such deformities pose difficulties in reconstruction.Some of the options for the correction are use of onlay grafts with autogenous or alloplastic material or mobilisation of the depressed bone by osteotomies and fixation.Here is a case report of depressed frontal bone deformity correction done with the use of hydroxyapatite as bone graft substitute
