    AbstractWe report the case of a road accident victim who sustained fracture of the frontal bone and extensive skin loss. Immediate repair of the skin breach was necessary to protect the set bone fragments. Intraoperative skin expansion provided an immediate gain in tissue and avoided the waiting period required with traditional expansion methods. Besides an excellent immediate functional result, acceptable aesthetic results, confirmed 6 months later, were also obtained.
