[Diagnosis and treatment of the complex fracture of the maxillary and nasal bone].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the effect of surgical treatment for compound fracture of nasal bone and frontal process of maxilla with endoscopy and small local incision.

METHOD: Twenty-two cases with compound fracture of nasal bone and frontal process of maxilla were treated with surgery, and the postoperative effect were analysed.

CT scan and 3D reconstruction before operation can help the diagnosis. Corresponding incision and assisted endoscopy can make good surgical field and achieve surgical success. Rigid internal fixation is also the key for surgical success.
