Abstract
Nasal fractures are the most common facial fractures. The majority of nasal fractures have been discussed as minor injuries and managed by closed reduction and intranasal packing. However, in cases of a nasal fracture with open laceration on fracture site, the plates fixation may be accomplished with definite reduction through the open laceration. But, metallic reconstruction plates can sometimes produce palpable irregularity at the site of fixation in nasal bone fractures. We performed rigid fixation through open laceration wound with bioabsorbable plate and screws under local anesthesia. Satisfactory result was obtained in both functional and aesthetic aspect. Open reduction through external laceration and bioabsorbable fixation under local anesthesia is a reliable and useful method for the treatment of extensive and comminuted nasal fractures.
