Saddle and boxer's nose.

The deformities known as saddle nose and boxer's nose result from injuries or poorly planned nasal surgery. Boxer's nose may eventually be corrected using Straith's method. It is possible to correct both deformities by simply using a bone graft. Neither the use of cartilage grafts nor organic or inorganic inclusions are recommended, the former because they tend to deform, and the latter because they are not well tolerated. There are many advantages to using bone grafts taken from the tibia, including good integration and successful results. This personal method has been used by us since 1948, and is based on the principle of the first-class lever.
