ABSTRACT:In addition to precautions taken with perioperative surgical techniques, nasal packing and external nasal splinting are frequently employed to ensure the stability of the nasal bones following osteotomies performed during rhinoplasty. However, despite these precautions, nasal bone fragments, generally caused by trauma or healing problems, can approach the midline, progress in a posterior direction and heal with malunion in an infractured manner. Since cavities on the infractured side can result in asymmetries and/or airway narrowing, revision osteotomy is required to correct these problems. Subsequent potential recurrent infractures caused by nasal fragments can easily be prevented with late-absorbed sutures passing through the neighboring holes and opening near the osteotomy lines. This technique would be useful for both primary and secondary rhinoplasty, but especially in secondary rhinoplasty operations. (Level of Evidence: Level IV).
