Abstract
The traditional treatment of nasal bone fracture is closed manual reduction. Disadvantage of the method arises from frequent recurrence and inaccurate correction because open method is nonused in anatomical result. In addition, since the interest about cosmetic problems rapidly rises, people who want aesthetic correction during reduction surgery are increasing. From June 2007 to June 2009, This study includes 121 patients who had been performed by correction of nasal bone fracture in our center. 98 out of 121 patients, were undergone with nasal tip plasty, septoplasty was done in 51 patients. Cartilage graft for augmentation rhinoplasty was performed in 36 patients. Average period of follow-up was 6 months and existence of complications such as nasal deviation, nasal obstruction, infection and etc were investigated. Reoperation was done in one patient who showed nasal obstruction, and patients who complained about other complications, such as nasal deviation, were observed. There is the need of more accurate reduction method than traditional non-invasive reduction maneuver, in order to reduce the occurrence of secondary deformation after nasal bone fracture. Hence the authors operated precise reduction by extended endonasal approach without columellar scar, and aesthetic correction rather than anatomical correction was done with variable cartilage if needed.
