How Do You Treat Nasal Fractures?
Discussion
Facial trauma is common and accounts for about 11% of all pediatric emergency room visits. Nasal fractures are fewer in younger ages but increase in incidence as children age because of increased opportunity for trauma (e.g. playing, sports, car accidents, etc.). Anatomy also plays a part as young children have more cartilaginous structures and the nose does not protrude as much as an older child or adult who also have more osseous structures. The nasal structures have 2 bigger growth phases from 2-5 years and also at puberty. Adult size is reached in 16-18 years for females and about 2 years later for males (18...
