NASAL RECONSTRUCTION WITH FULL-THICKNESS CRANIAL BONE GRAFTS AND RIGID INTERNAL SKELETON FIXATION THROUGH A CORONAL INCISION

The use of iliac and rib bone as onlay grafts to the nasal dorsum often fails because endochondral grafts resorb unpredictably. Membranous cranial bone grafts are less likely to resorb, especially when used with rigid internal fixation techniques. However, when split, they are often too thin and can
