title: [Follow-up examinations of patients with isolated fractures of the bony nasal pyramid].
abstract: Follow-up examinations in 92 patients with fractures of the bony nasal pyramid showed that repositioning had led to a functionally and cosmetically satisfying result in 38% of all cases only. Groups of patients were identified in which an increased number of therapeutic failures occurred and who, therefore, require exceptionally careful treatment in future. Therefore, --more emphasis must be placed on correct repositioning of the fractured nasal septum, --general anaesthesia permits a more exact correction of the nasal bones, --the nasal skeleton should be stabilized with plaster of Paris in addition to a tamponade, --finally, X-ray pictures in two directions make it easier to recognize the fracture and to control the success of repositioning.
