BACKGROUND Nasal bone fracture is one of the most common facial bone fracture types, and the surgical results exert a strong influence on the facial contour and patient satisfaction. Preventing secondary deformity and restoring the original bone state are the major goals of surgeons managing nasal bone fracture patients. In this study, a treatment algorithm was established by applying the modif...

BACKGROUND Pathogens in the nasal cavity during nasal surgery could lead to a systemic infectious condition, such as bacteremia, nosocomial infection, or toxic shock syndrome. However, there is no research about the prevalence of nasal carriage in patients with nasal bone fracture. METHODS This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized study about the rate of nasal carriage in 200 patients ...

Objectives: To evaluate the relation between the mechanism of nasal trauma and age, gender, occupation, the residency, and nasal fracture, among Iraqi patients. Patients and methods: Descriptive study enrolled 124 patients attended ENT outpatient department at AL-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital in Baghdad/Iraq, from May 2015 to May 2016 complaining of recent nasal trauma, in whom the information data...

BACKGROUND Nasal bone fractures are managed by closed reduction within the 2-week period, and are managed by secondary correction after this time. There is little literature on the delayed reduction for nasal bone fractures beyond the 2-week duration. We report our experience with nasal fractures, which were reduced beyond this period. METHODS A retrospective review was performed for all pati...

BACKGROUND Most nasal bone fractures are corrected using non-invasive methods. Often, patients are dissatisfied with surgical outcomes following such closed approach. In this study, we compare surgical outcomes following blind closed reduction to that of ultrasound-guided reduction. METHODS A single-institutional prospective study was performed for all nasal fracture patients (n=28) presentin...

As the number of people who have undergone augmentation rhinoplasty has increased recently, nasal fractures are becoming more common after rhinoplasty. A silicone implant can affect the nasal fracture pattern, but there is no significant difference in treatment methods commonly. A 28-year-old female who had undergone augmentation visited our clinic with a nasal fracture. Computed tomography rev...

Comparison of the Effects Ketamine-Remifentanil with Ketamine-Propofol on Pain, Agitation and Hemodynamic Changes during Closed Reduction Nasal Fracture

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic findings of ultrasonography and radiography in nasal fractures. DESIGN AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES In this prospective study, 63 patients (23 female and 40 male; mean age, 26.8 years) with clinical signs of a nasal bone fracture were investigated. All patients underwent radiography (lateral view of the nose plus occipitomental view) and ultrasonography (10-MH...
