Concomitant open reduction of a nasal bone fracture combined with a zygomatic fracture through a subciliary incision.

: Nasal bone fracture is the most common of the fractures of the facial skeleton. For centuries, these injuries have been managed with closed reduction, but because of low surgeon satisfaction rates and high revision rates, open reduction is advocated in cases involving severe deviation of the nasal dorsum associated with septal fractures. There are many surgical approaches that can be used to expose the nasal bones, but we present a case where the subciliary incision was used to reduce and fixate the fracture in a patient with combined zygomatic fractures. Owing to the abundance of other concomitant facial fractures with nasal bone fractures, this approach can be used in patients with combined injuries to the facial skeleton, in whom an open reduction of the nasal bones is also required.
