Introduction: In this work, we demonstrate a modification in the frontal advancement technique, using a hydroxyapatite “morceau”, through a series of cases.
Technical note: The technical improvement consists of applying a piece of solid hydroxyapatite, freely cut and molded, under the fronto-orbital band, ensuring the advancement of the band itself, as well as facilitating early reossification. The service's experience, through a series of 20 cases, reflected good outcomes, guaranteed by frontal reossification in all cases. There were no complications associated with the new technical stage in any of the cases in the series.
Conclusion: Therefore, the results favor the use of hydroxyapatite Morceaux as an advantageous strategy for the treatment of craniostenosis with frontal advancement.
