Titanium Mini-Plate for Securing Septal Cartilage – A Case of High-Impact Nasal Trauma

摘要

A technique is presented of securing the cartilaginous nasal septum using titanium mini-plates in the repair of a complex open comminuted type I nasoethmoid fracture, with internal impaction of the external cartilaginous nose. This technique allows primary skin closure and obviates the need for external metal-work and the attendant potential complications.
