Comment on: “Reverse umbrella technique – percutaneous reduction of frontal bone fracture using an intermaxillary fixation screw device”

We read with great interest the study published by Maharaj et al. entitled “Reverse umbrella technique – percutaneous reduction of frontal bone fracture using an intermaxillary fixation screw device” in British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery1. In this technical note, the authors have described their percutaneous screw reduction technique for the treatment of noncomminuted isolated anterior table fracture of the frontal sinus with the use of intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws. We agree that percutaneous reduction techniques should be used for treatment of these type of fractures whenever possible, in order to avoid complications related to the coron al approach or the complexity of endoscopic approaches.
