Purpose:
Closed reduction is commonly used for the treatment of nasal bone fractures. If the fracture is impacted, accurate reduction is difficult. Therefore open reduction is often required.
Materials And Methods:
Between January 2010 and December 2011, we used a Kirschner wire and a C-arm intraoperatively for accurate closed reduction of impacted nasal bone fractures.
Results:
During the follow-up period of 4 weeks to 6 months, all patients had satisfactory cosmetic results.
Conclusions:
The effectiveness of open reduction was obtained without noticeable scarring with our method of closed reduction using a Kirschner wire and a C-arm.
