About the Cover

Nasal bone fractures constitute about 40% of all facial fractures. Since nose is in the centre of the face any deformity after an injury is most noticeable and greatly affects the appearance. Hence an attempt is made to study the incidence, types, treatment and outcome of nasal bone fractures. This prospective study was done in the department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery in AJ Institute of Medical Sciences. 110 cases of isolated nasal bone fractures were included in the study. Of the 110 patients, 93 (84.5%) were males and 17 (15.5%) females. The mean age of the patients ranged from 18 to 73 years with a mean age of 36 years. Road Traffic Accidents were a major etiology accounting to 72 (65.4%) of the cases, sports injury in 20 (18.2%), physical violence in 15 (13.6%) and falls in 3 (2.8%).56 (50.9%) underwent closed reduction and 54 (49.1%) went for open reduction. Among them 44 (40.0%) underwent septoplasty, 2 (1.8%) osteotomies and septorhinoplasty was performed on 8 (7.3%). Nasal bone fractures are an important component of facial trauma. A thorough clinical examination, diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential for management of such cases.
