    Author: Sambajon VV, Johns FR, Ochs MW.
    Journal: J Craniomaxillofac Trauma; 1998; 4(4):24-31. PubMed ID: 11951278.
    Abstract:
    Blunt contusions, lacerations, and avulsion-type trauma are the most often reported nasal injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents. The nasal skeleton and soft tissues are frequently involved and may require surgical repair of the injuries. The primary reconstruction often requires the use of autogenous grafts, and secondary revision surgery may be necessary. The treatment may require a multidisciplinary surgical team or a single surgeon who knows how to manage the injury. Optimally, the reconstruction of nasal bone avulsions is performed primarily, using autogenous graft materials. This article presents reconstruction of the nasal deformities in 3 patients involved in motor vehicle accidents. The authors describe and evaluate the various graft materials and surgical techniques utilized. The advantages and disadvantages of autogenous and alloplastic materials are discussed. Studies with more patients and long-term follow-up are required for a definitive evaluation.
