Abstract:
The traffic accident was one of most common cause for the facial bone fracture. When it involved the midfacial structures, the nasal bone fracture was usually shown. If the reduction was not done in time, it would result in facial deformity. Simple case could be corrected by simple rhinoplasty. However, severe cases would require more invasive technique. We used triangular osteotomy included the nasal bones, the vomer, and the medial wall of maxilla for the correction of post-traumatic nasal deformity and reported the result with the review of literatures.
