Ultrasound for management of pediatric nasal fractures

CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound has a high negative predictive value in identifying nasal fractures in children with swollen noses during presentation. This enables to avoid further unnecessary referrals and interventions. Ultrasound-guided closed reduction of nasal fractures demonstrates improved outcomes; however, further large-scale randomized studies are required to validate our findings.PMID:37594057 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.176
