Abstract
|
|
|
A severely deviated nose accompanied with trauma is difficult to correct, but osteotomy, acommon surgical technique, can correct such deviation. This study aims to evaluate the useful-ness of unilateral osteotomy, a technique for correcting a severely deviated nose driven by trau-ma. Two patients, both with deviated nose caused by trauma but one with a C-shaped nose andanother with a reverse C-shaped nose, underwent surgery. Cartilage and bone humps were re-moved by a knife and a rubin osteotome, respectively. Unilateral osteotomy was performed onthe convex area to correct the crooked nose and camouflage dorsal graft was used to treat thelowered dorsum. No postoperative complications were reported during the follow-up periods.
Both patients were satisfied with the outcomes. This paper presents successful cases of unilat-eral osteotomy and suggests this treatment as an effective way of correcting deviated nose caused by trauma.
