dc.description.abstractThe nasal bones are the most commonly fractured bones in the body, and account for more than half of facial fractures in adults. Patients who sustain nasal fractures are usually male (68%), with a median age of 38 years. Most often nasal fractures are a result of blunt facial trauma including motor vehicle collisions, assault, and sports injuries. Open nasal fractures, defined as fractures in which bone penetrates through the soft tissue, occur in approximately 5% of nasal fractures. While several classification systems have been proposed for nasal fractures, none are widely used in practice to guide management.
