About Nasal Bone Fracture Repair

Nasal bone fracture repair, also known as closed reduction of nasal fracture or rhinoplasty for trauma, is a surgical procedure performed by an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist to realign and stabilize broken nasal bones. This procedure is crucial for restoring the nose's normal shape, ensuring proper breathing function, and preventing long-term cosmetic deformities. It is typically performed within 7-14 days of the injury, before the bones begin to set in a misaligned position. The surgeon carefully repositions the fractured bone fragments back into their correct anatomical alignment, often under local or general anesthesia. This intervention not only improves facial symmetry but also corrects any internal nasal obstruction, facilitating optimal airflow and patient comfort.

Key Highlights

    Restores the natural shape and appearance of the nose.Corrects nasal obstruction to improve breathing.Prevents long-term cosmetic deformity and functional issues.Typically a short, minimally invasive procedure when performed promptly.Can often be performed under local anesthesia.Helps prevent complications like a deviated septum./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Displaced or misaligned nasal bone fracture confirmed by physical exam and imaging (X-ray or CT scan).
  • Nasal deformity or asymmetry following trauma.
  • Significant nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing after an injury.
  • Epistaxis (nosebleed) that is difficult to control due to fracture.
  • Open fracture (where bone pierces the skin) requiring cleaning and repair.
  • Fracture involving the nasal septum causing deviation or hematoma.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive evaluation including a physical exam and often a CT scan of the nose.
  • Discussion of medical history, allergies, and current medications (especially blood thinners).
  • Pre-operative tests as required (blood tests, ECG).
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours if general anesthesia is planned.

  • Avoid blowing the nose, strenuous activity, and wearing glasses directly on the nose for several weeks.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
