[Nasal fractures in adults] (original) (raw)

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2016

Abstract

The risk of complications warrants treatment of most dislocated nasal fractures. Other injuries including other facial fractures and septal haematoma must be treated if present at the initial presentation. The usual treatment for a simple nasal fracture is closed reduction in local anae-sthe-sia after five to seven days. Complicated cases require open reduction in general anaesthesia. Later revision of the devi--a-ted nose may become necessary in patients suffering from complications such as persistent nasal stenosis and/or deformity.
