An Asian perspective on improving outcomes for nasal bone fractures by establishing specific treatment options
1Bundang CHA Medical Center, Department of Otolaryngology, CHA University, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
Objective:
To report treatment outcomes of patients with different types of nasal bone fracture, following a tailored treatment protocol.
Design:
The patterns and the severity of the fractures were determined by a preoperative facial photo and nasal bone computed tomography (CT) retrospectively.
Setting:
A tertiary referral centre.
Participants:
We evaluated 129 patients who underwent surgery between March 2002 and January 2014. Patients were subjected to five different treatment methods depending on the severity of injury.
Main Outcome Measures:
Medical records were reviewed to assess rates of complications and revision surgery. Cosmetic and functional (the degree of nasal obstruction) outcomes were measured using the Likert scale from 1 (very dissatisfied, severe obstruction) to 5 (very satisfied, no obstruction).
Results:
The mean elapsed time from injury to surgery was 14.9 days. The overall treatment failure rate, defined as a deformity that required revision, was 6.2%. The patient satisfaction scores for aesthetic and functional outcomes were 3.9 and 4.6 respectively.
Conclusion:
The prudent selection of patients with indication for closed reduction, and further specification of variable treatment options for the various degrees of nasal bone fracture, may be helpful in achieving an improved treatment outcome.
Level Of Evidence:
level IV.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
