Abstract
Isolated nasal bone fractures are the most common injuries of the central midface. They can be divided into different fracture types, depending on the exposure and orientation of violence. It is essential to ensure that there is no septal hematoma or abscess, which would require an emergency surgical intervention. Aclosed reposition can be offered if misalignment of the nose can still be observed after the edema swelling has gone down. In case of insufficient aesthetic and functional results, rhinoplasty/septal reconstruction can be performed 6 to 12months after the trauma at the earliest. In children the, the decision for repositioning should be taken carefully in order to protect the nasal growing zone.
