Abstract
Osteotomy is often necessary for the repair of post-traumatic nasal bone deformities. Typically, tools such as chisels are used for osteotomies; however, we performed osteotomies using Kirschner wires without making a skin incision. Between April 2011 and July 2022, we performed rhinoplasty with external perforated osteotomy using Kirschner wires in 13 patients with post-traumatic nasal bone deformities (9 males and 4 females; mean age, 34 years, range 12-51 years), all of whom exhibited improvement, with only one case showing mild residual cosmetic deformity. None of the patients requested further revision, and all were satisfied with their functional results. The non-incisional external perforated technique is a reasonable method that allows for bone osteotomies along the fracture line and is well-controlled, predictable, and reproducible.
