Abstract
Both techniques improve frontoorbital dimensions for correction of metopic synostosis. In severe trigonocephaly phenotypes, the FOA allows a greater magnitude of expansion and overcorrection, but compromises preservation of a vascularized leash. The “tilt” procedure possesses the benefit of near-anatomic bandeau remodeling, while potentially improving long-term growth.
