Abstract
The nasal bone fracture is the most common type of facial bone fracture. Closed reduction with metal reduction instrument is commonly conducted for the treatment of a depressed nasal bone fracture which often leads to iatrogenic injury. In this article, a new balloon catheter dilation apparatus for nasal bone fracture is hypothesized by the authors. This device aims to repair nasal bone fracture via dilated balloons under fractured nasal bone and used as nasal internal packing system after operation. Compared with the conventional approach, it is proposed that this balloon dilation apparatus could be a potential powerful, less invasive approach to treat depressed nasal bone fractures.
