This is the management of a 38-year-old female trader. She had a road traffic accident with open fracture of the frontal bone and was received by the accident and emergency doctors and resuscitated before the pastic and orthopeadic surgeons were invited to take over the management. The orthopeadic team applied a neck collar and did investigations to rule out cervical spine injury. The plastic team later used a nasolabial flap to cover the open frontal bone fracture. The patient was satisfied with the outcome of surgery.
