Biomechanical investigation of the supraorbital arch - a transient FEA study on the impact of physical blows

INTRODUCTION: As fractures of the supraorbital region are far less common than midfacial or orbital fractures, a study was initiated to investigate whether fist blows could lead to fractures similar to those often seen in the midface. METHODS: A detailed skull model and an impactor resembling a fist...
