[Use of septo-rhinoplasty in the treatment of traumatic deviated nose].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the new classification and marking method for traumatic deviated nose treated by septo-rhinoplasty.

METHODS

Twenty-six selected cases of traumatic deviated nose were analysed. There were 5 C-type cases, 12 O-type cases and 9 S-type cases. Deviated parameters were measured before and after operation. All patients were treated by seven-step method.

RESULTS

Clinical data in seventeen patients including C-type and O-type were complete. There was significant difference in changes of deviated parameters before and after operation( t = 6.9031, P = 0.0001). The cure rate was 58.8%, the effective rate was 88.2%.

CONCLUSIONS

The new clinical classification and marking method for traumatic deviated nose are suitable for clinical study. Septo-rhinoplasty is effective for traumatic deviated nose.
