Nasal fractures are common facial injuries. Optimal acute management is crucial to prevent long-term cosmetic and functional nasal deformities, though challenges remain in restoring pre-injury form.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Plastic Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal fractures are the most common facial bone injuries, often resulting from accidents, sports, or altercations.
  • While initially seeming minor, nasal fractures can lead to significant cosmetic and functional defects if not managed properly.
  • Despite existing guidelines, restoring the nose to its pre-traumatic state remains a clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the anatomical, diagnostic, and management considerations for acute nasal trauma.
  • To discuss strategies for minimizing secondary nasal deformities after injury.
  • To present the authors' experience in managing nasal trauma and deviated noses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and guidelines on acute nasal trauma management.

  • Discussion of anatomical landmarks relevant to nasal trauma.
  • Clinical experience-based approach to diagnosis and treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • Up to 50% of nasal trauma cases may result in post-traumatic deformity requiring revision surgery (rhinoplasty/septorhinoplasty).
    • Effective acute management is key to preventing long-term functional and aesthetic issues.
    • A comprehensive approach considering anatomy, diagnosis, and timely intervention is essential.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimal acute management of nasal trauma is critical for preventing secondary deformities.
    • Restoration of pre-traumatic nasal form and function after injury remains a significant challenge.
    • A thorough understanding of nasal anatomy and current management strategies is vital for successful outcomes.
