Closed Nasal Fracture Reduction

Nasal bone fractures may be straightened within a few weeks after the injury with a limited nasal procedure. Under brief general anesthesia, instruments are placed in the nasal cavity and the displaced bone(s) are moved back into position. No incisions are necessary.

After Surgery

There is minimal to no pain after this procedure. A splint is placed on the nose and may be removed in 5 days. No restrictions on activity except contact sports for 3 weeks.

Out of town patients are cleared for travel the next day. No follow up is necessary.
