Nose Injury :
Nose injury or fractured nose/broken nose is the most common complication seen during motor vehicle accidents, sports injury, trauma or physical fights. It is characterized by presence of broken nasal cartilage or nasal bones; accompanied by intense bleeding, pain, deformity, nasal septal hematoma, severe bruising and swelling. It can be easily diagnosed by clinical presentation; however, x-ray or CT scan may help to know the extent of damage or displacement of nasal bones into cranial cavity. It is an emergency issue which needs to be managed by ice application and drainage of hematoma prior to visiting ER. It can be surgically treated by alignment procedures, septoplasty or rhinoplasty procedures.
