Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between etiologic factors and fracture types of patients underwent nasal fracture reduction due to nasal fracture and applied to emergency service. 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.
