Post Traumatic Septorhinoplasty

Rohini Radhakrishnan

In this study, we looked at 20 individuals who had septorhinoplasty for posttraumatic abnormalities. Excessive breadth, depression, and twisting were identified as three features that occur alone or in combination while studying the abnormalities over a one-year period. Removal of medial tissue, thorough mobilisation of the nasal bones, and postoperative compression exercises were the best treatments for a wide nose. Onlay grafts were used to bring the depressed nose forward, with septal cartilage being the initial choice. Finally, the nasal components were freed, the bone and cartilage were straightened, and they were replaced in their natural locations to treat the twisted nose.
