About this document
Management of Nasal Trauma by Samir Jaber is a document available to read on EtoBox.
It is estimated there are, on average, 51,200 nasal fractures per year in the United States. Infant or childhood nasal trauma is notorious for being overlooked, leading to adolescent and adult nasal deviation and / or airway obstruction. Even when a nasal fracture is diagnosed, the mechanism of injury is often not well understood, leading to an inadequate treatment plan. Patients who have sustained nasal fracture during altercations will have a 15-20% chance of reporting a second nasal trauma.
