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