Abstract

Closed reduction is commonly used for the treatment of nasal bone fractures. If the fracture is impacted, accurate reduction is difficult. Therefore open reduction is often required. Between January 2010 and December 2011, we used a Kirschner wire and a C-arm intraoperatively for accurate closed reduction of impacted nasal bone fractures. During the follow-up period of 4 weeks to 6 months, all patients had satisfactory cosmetic results. The effectiveness of open reduction was obtained without noticeable scarring with our method of closed reduction using a Kirschner wire and a C-arm.
