- Abstract
Introduction: We describe our technique of using reverse frontal bone graft for FOAR for patients with metopic or coronal synostosis and present our complications using the Leeds classification system for complications in craniosynostosis surgery. Methods: Since April 2015, seventeen patients have been operated using this technique. We perform a frontal bone graft that is then reversed, and supraorbital margins are drilled out. The orbital bar is then removed and drilled down to make bone dust and on-lay bone grafts which are then used to fill gaps on exposed dura and fill in around the temporal region. Results: All 17 patients who underwent this technique have good cosmetic results. We report 5 (29%) complications and 8 (47%) blood transfusions (7 exposures, 1 cell salvage).
