BACKGROUND: Nasal fractures constitute the largest proportion of facial trauma each year, however, there is no consensus management. In this study, we investingated the role of the consultant and the functional and aesthetic outcomes of procedures performed to address nasal bone fractures.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review of patients who sustained nasal bone fractures was conducted from 8/1/14 through 1/23/18. Categorical variables were analyzed using chi-squared testing and Fisher's exact test, where appropriate, while continuous variables were compared using Mann-Whitney U testing.
RESULTS: During the study period, 136 patients met inclusion criteria for full analysis. The mean age of this cohort was 47.6 ± 20.2 years with the majority identifying as African-American (53.7%) and male (67.2%). Otolaryngologists were significantly more likely to assess pre-operative nasal obstruction (100%) compared to plastic surgeons (24.1%) (P < .001). Otolaryngology elected operative management (53.3%) at a significantly higher rate than plastic surgery (24.1%) (P = .005). Additionally, otolaryngology was significantly more likely to manage patients in an outpatient setting (91.2%), whereas plastic surgery more commonly performed inpatient management (57.1%) (P = .006). Plastic surgery averaged a significantly shorter amount of time from presentation to operative management (7.3 ± 10.7 days) compared to otolaryngology (20 ± 27.7) (P = .019). Consulting service was not associated with a need for revision surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Consultants across subspecialties differ in the management of nasal bone trauma. A more standardized approach is warranted by all individuals involved in the care of maxillofacial trauma patients.
