Material and Methods: In this study, we evaluated 74 patients who underwent nasal fracture reduction due to isolated nasal fracture. Patients were classified as two groups according to Stranc and Robertson classification: Frontal impact group type 1 (FI), Frontal impact group type 2 (FII), Lateral impact group type 1 (LI), Lateral impact group type 2 (LII), Communited fracture group (C). Results: The mean age of the patients was 25.17. The most common types of fractures were FI (n=20), LI (n=20), LII (n=17), C (n=12) and FII (n=5). The most common cause of injury was fights (n=30), falls (n=27), traffic accidents (n=8), sports events (n=6), and occupational accidents (n=3). The two most common symptom findings were swelling (70.2%) and epistaxis (16.2%). Septal fractures were seen in 24.3% of patients and septal hematomas in 35.13%. Conclusion: LII type fractures are the most commonly seen in fighting events, LI type is the most common type of fall events, and C type fractures are the most common in traffic accidents and occupational accidents. The fight is also the most common cause of nasal fractures in young patients.
