Fig. 2. In this 68-year-old patient with fall injury (Case 5), the treatment of nasal fracture was delayed due to a prolonged episode of nosocomial pneumonia. The type-I frontal impact fracture was reduced 21 days after the initial injury. (A) Preoperative computed tomography (CT) image shows minimally displaced end plate, proper contact to the marginal bony surface, minimal septal deviation, but with an interlocked fracture segment on the right lateral wall. (B) Postoperative CT image shows smooth arch contour without any nasal pyramid deviation. Mild malalignment is present, with a displaced segment.
