Abstract:
Objective The deformed nasal bone is commonly seen in clinical practice of plastic surgery, and up to now, there is still lack of systemic classification to direct clinical treatment. Attempt was made in this study to classify the deformed nasal bone and present their plastic surgery treatment. Methods According to the orientation of the nasal bone deviation, the nasal bone deformities were divided into seven types, including the depressed, deviated, combination of the depressed and deviated, convex, widened, shortened ones and others. Of the 78 cases with the deformed nasal bone, 52 cases were corrected by the bone osteotomy techniques, and 26 cases by augmentation rhinoplasty. Results The satisfactory repair outcomes were achieved in 48 nasal bone deformities of the 52 cases (92%), and then secondary procedures were performed in 4 cases for further improvements (8%). Augmentation rhinoplasty in 26 cases showed good results. Conclusions Those types of classification are relatively simple and comprehensive, which is conducive to clinical treatment. The nasal bone osteotomy is effective to repair the deformed nasal bone.
