ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To sum up three types of plastic procedures for frontal plagiocephaly Based on the principle of floating forehead, the plagiocephaly (unilateral coronal synostosis).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>was corrected and orbito-frontal reconstruction was performed by orbito-frontal advancement, 'or temporoparietal osteotomy, or fronto-parietal osteotomy. The absorbable plates and microscrews composed of From January 2008 to polylactide polymers, were used to immobilize calvarial segments.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>December 2010, 9 cases of plagiocephaly were treated with satisfactory result and no severe complication. The patients were followed up for 1-2 years with no recurrence of suture fusion and deformity. The brain development was not restricted. The absorbable plates were applied to avoid the metal fixation moving into The three types of plastic procedures, orbito-frontal advancement, or the cranial bone.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>temporo-parietal osteotomy, or fronto-parietal osteotomy, can correct the plagiocephaly with satisfactory orbito-frontal appearance. Long-term follow-up is needed to observe the long-term effect of the orbito-frontal reconstructive operation on mental and calvarial development as well as visual function.</p>
