Abstract: | Lateral deviations of the nose can be caused by various violent injuries or even by unsuccessful surgery (iatrogenic). Early treatment of fractures is not only bloodless but very much easier in contrast to older injuries which can only be corrected by surgery. Under these circumstances, a complete revision and repositioning of the upper and inferior lateral cartilages or alar cartilages is advisable. In both cases, the simultaneous correction of the affected septum is fundamental. The authors recommend packing of the nasal cavities for 5 days and immobilization with an aluminum splint for 7 days. |
