AbstractNose is a central projection in the face with fragile skeleton. A trivial trauma can result in a significant deformity. Although majority suffer a bony injury, overlying swelling masks the deformity. If such deformity is not identified and intervened, it can lead to soft tissue changes as well as bony deformity, which may require septoplasty or rhinoplasty later. Hence in nasal bone fracture intervention in the timely manner is a must to reduce the long term morbidity and the cost of treatment.
