Evaluation Of Treatment Outcomes For Nasal Bone Fractures At Binh Duong Hospital

Abstract

   Background and Objectives: The treatment of nasal bone fractures and associated injuries has been practiced for many years; however, clinical practice underscores the need for a more systematic and comprehensive understanding to facilitate accurate diagnosis and optimize treatment outcomes. Based on this rationale, we conducted the study “Evaluation of Treatment Outcomes for Nasal Bone Fractures at Binh Duong Hospital.” Objective: To evaluate patients' nasal function and anatomical structural recovery outcomes following nasal closed reduction and opened reduction.

   Methods: A descriptive case series study was conducted, involving patients treated at Binh Duong Hospital from November 2022 to June 2023.

   Results: Over an 8-month period, 32 patients with nasal bone fractures were studied and treated at Binh Duong Hospital. Of these, 23 patients (71.9%) were treated within 1–7 days, 62.5% underwent general anesthesia, 43.8% received closed nasal reduction, and 40.6% underwent opened reduction with septoplasty. Additionally, 84.4% of patients required treatment beyond 7 days, 100% achieved bone healing after 3 months, and all 32 patients (100%) exhibited nasal bone displacement of less than 2 mm. Good outcomes were observed in 59% of patients, while 31.3% achieved satisfactory results after 3 months, with no poor outcomes reported. No postoperative complications were observed.

   Conclusion: Treatment of nasal bone fractures, predominantly within 7 days, yielded optimal results. Furthermore, associated injuries require appropriate intervention to ensure favorable outcomes.
