The Crooked Nose and Major Septal Deviations in Dorsal Preservation
1Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University, MD, USA.
Abstract:
The crooked nose deformity (CND) has a multifactorial origin. Trauma, previous surgery, septal deviation, and maxillary and nasal bone hypertrophy contribute to asymmetry. The crooked nose has been deemed one of the most difficult to repair of all nasal deformities. Dorsal preservation (DP) rhinoplasty techniques have evolved to correct the boney vault, high septal deviations, and boney hypertrophy while limiting cartilage usage. A paucity of literature exists detailing functional and aesthetic outcome measures for DP. Herein the author's approach to improve the CND utilizing different DP techniques including the modified subdorsal strip method, Z flap, and the modified Cottle technique is presented.

Cranial 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...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
