title: [Diagnostics of nasal bone fractures with the use of ultrasound study techniques].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness of ultrasound diagnostics of nasal bone fractures, compare it with the results of clinical examination, X-ray and CT imaging of nasal bones. The data of the analysis of clinical symptoms and instrumental studies are compared with those of X-ray and ultrasound investigations of intact and fractured bones including the cases of persistent post-traumatic deformation of the nose. It is concluded that the ultrasonic study of nasal bones is a more accurate method for diagnostics of their fractures compared with X-ray examination (p<0.05); specifically, it allowed the lateral displacement of bone fragments to be documented.
