fracture of nasal bones

Causes of Nasal Fracture
If you’ve ever broken your nose, you know it’s not a fun experience. A nasal fracture is a break or cracks in the bone in your nose caused by contact with an object. They can be caused by trauma to the nose, such as a fall or getting hit in the face, or if you’re involved in a motor vehicle accident. Nasal fractures are a common injury that can lead to serious complications if they are not treated properly.
Treatment of Nasal Fracture
If you’ve suffered a nasal fracture, the treatment you receive will depend on the severity of your injury.

A minor fracture that has not changed the shape of your nose may not require medical attention at all and will heal on its own. Larger breaks will require your doctor to manually realign your nose. This procedure is performed with injected anesthesia.

A nasal speculum is inserted into the nostrils and with the help of other specialty instruments, your broken nose and cartilage are put back into place. An internal and external splint will be attached to help keep your nose in place while the bone heals. For severe breaks, surgery may be needed.

Don’t let nasal fractures stop you from enjoying your life. To book an appointment or talk to a Nasal Fracture about your condition, For Treatment of Nasal Fracture, call Dr. Ram ENT Hospital now.
