Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence rate of nasal septum fracture and it's influence on the effect of nasal bone reduction. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 212 cases of nasal fracture compared with nasal septum deviation were carried out. Among these cases 112 treated with nasal bone reduction only was called group A; the other cases were treated with nasal reduction concomitantly with septoplasty. Among them 58 cases were diagnosed with nasal septum fracture, it was called group B; 42 cases were diagnosed with nasal septum deviation, it was called group C. The postoperative nasal deformity rate was assessed, and the intraoperative findings of nasal septum contrast with preoperative CT diagnosis was analysed. RESULTS Three months after the operation, 27 cases (24.1%) of nasal deformity were found in group A; 9(9.0%) cases of nasal deformity were found in group B+C; septum fracture was found in 58 cases (100%) in group B and 30(71.8%) cases in group C introperatively. The diagnosis rate of nasal septum fracture by CT was 58.0%, while it's incidence rate was 88.0%. CONCLUSION More nasal septum fractures were observed introperatively than CT findings, and septoplasty concomitantly with nasal bone reduction can obviously reduce the rate of nasal deformity.
