BACKGROUND A number of studies have reported complication after reduction of nasal bone fractures. Among complicated cases, some showed improvement in shape of the nose with passage of time. Therefore, we examined these changes using computed tomography (CT) images taken over intervals. METHODS CT scans of 50 patients with new nasal bone fractures were reviewed, and the images were compared a...
