Abstract:
Objective To introduce a new method of recombinative repair for the old malunion of the fracture of nasal bone. Methods Since 1996.5 to 2001.12, this technique was performed in 28 patients, 23 men and 5 women, with a range of 18～45 years, a mean age of 29 years. The nasal skin was protected with a rubber pad, and malformed nasal bones were beat out with a small hammer, so as to create a new refracture, then manual reduction was performed with finger and the septal periosted elevator. Results Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 5 years. Of all the patients, 23 cases were cured, 5 cases improved, and the overall effective rate was 100 %. Most of them were satisfied with the successful operation. Conclusion The operative procedure of recombinative repair is technically simple and easy, and the patients suffer little.
