This document provides information on nasal fractures, including:
- Nasal fractures are the most common facial fracture, caused by physical assaults, falls, motor vehicle accidents, or contact sports.
- Left untreated, nasal fractures can lead to long-term deformities, obstruction, and other complications. Proper evaluation and management can reduce these risks.
- Evaluation involves history, examination of external and internal nasal structures, and sometimes imaging like x-rays or CT scans.
- Initial treatment focuses on controlling bleeding and drainage. Closed reduction is preferred but open reduction may be needed for severe fractures.
- Proper timing of reduction is important to realign fragments before fibrous tissue forms. Anest

Nasal bone fractures comprise up to 50% of all facial fractures. Nasal fractures can be classified in two broad categories based on impact force: lateral-type versus frontal-type injuries. Lateral-type injuries tend to be more common, have fewer residual anatomic and functional defects compared with frontal injuries, and are more amenable to closed reduction. Frontal injuries classically produce a posteriorly displaced fracture where the nasal septum is always involved. They have a higher risk of residual post-surgical deformity, and as the impact force increases, nasal, orbital, and ethmoidal fractures occur in combination. The extent of the septal injury determines the appropriate technique for septal correction. Closed reduction of fractured nasal bone can be performed by elevation of depressed bones or depression of elevated bones to restore the symmetry of the nasal aperture. Septal injuries that cannot be realigned with a closed reduction should be addressed with open techniques. Symmetrical fixation of the bones, restoration of orbital volume, globe position, frontonasal angle, and nasal projection are essential for a satisfactory cosmetic outcome.
science has an evolving nature. what happened today may not be tomorrow, what is not today may happen tomorrow.
No one is complete so reading and thinking may open the door to the hidden ground.
Any deviation in the normal nasal septum is called DNS (Deviated Nasal Septum).
Deviated Nasal Septum may be caused by mechanical trauma and may be
associated with some developmental defects.
Facial trauma is without doubt a most challenging area within the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Trauma with all its aspects has great importance, being the main cause of morbidity and mortality with rising frequency worldwide, especially in recent decades. Traumatic facial injuries are often associated with high mortality and varying degrees of physical, functional, psychological damage, cosmetic disfigurement, and concomitant injuries to other organs that may be added complicating factors. Road traffic accidents represent the main cause of facial trauma. According to WHO, Egypt leads the Middle East when it comes to road accidents, with an average of 12,000 people killed annually. Interpersonal violence is the second most prevalent etiologic factor. Our society is progressively becoming more and more violent and impatient, perhaps due to overcrowding, so the frequency of patients reporting in emergency with facial bones fracture is increasing.
During the last three decades, significant advances have occurred in the methods of fixation used for facial bone fractures, resulting in improved functional and aesthetic outcomes. Surgical techniques have been moving away from delayed closed reduction with internal wires suspension to early open reduction and internal plate fixation. The transition from wire osteosynthesis to rigid internal fixation in facial bone fractures using different micro or mini-plates and screw systems is regarded as one of the greatest advances in the field of maxillofacial surgery. I hope this book reflects the latest trends, concepts and innovations in the care of patients with facial trauma.
For convenience, the text is divided into 3 sections. Section 1 deals with primary care of the patients. Section 2 is concerned with midface fractures. In section 3 management of trauma to the lower face is discussed. Upper face injuries are not included and the reader could find the subject elsewhere under the topic of craniofacial traumatology. From the basic to the most complex, readers will find that each chapter is sequentially organized to provide a concise, and practical description of the operative details. The goal was to provide the reader with a fully comprehensive, yet highly illustrated text on the subject of facial trauma.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. DEFINITION
The prominence and delicate structure of the nose make it vulnerable to a broad
spectrum of injury, which accounts for why it is the most frequently fractured facial
bone.
Most common facial fracture (between 40–50%).
3rd most common fracture of the bony skeleton
Force required to create a fracture of the nasal structure is small, possibly as little
as 25 pounds of pressure
4. Why to worry ?
Although these injuries often do not appear to be severe, the mistake of undertreating nasal
trauma can lead to significant long-term problems. External deformity, nasal obstruction, septal
perforation and other complications (e.g., chronic sinusitis) will persist and sometimes worsen
months or years after the original insult.
Injuries in children may also lead to devastating growth retardation of the nose and midface.
Thoughtful assessment and proper management of nasal injuries can reduce the risk of these
sequelae, thereby reducing the need for delayed corrective septorhinoplasty.

9. CAUSES
Physical fights, assaults , domestic violence.
Contact sports
Falls (common in children)
Motor vehicle accidents
Falls from syncope or impaired balance in the elderly and etc.
10. HISTORY
Any history of a fall or force directed toward the mid face
Details of the injury either assault or any RTA (mechanism, speed, location,
direction of force , any restraining force)
Was there an epistaxis at the time of trauma? Or any watery discharge
Loss of sense of smell ( can also be due to oedema hence should be re assessed
after the oedema subsides)
Was there a previous history of facial trauma or surgery?
The difference from the nasal appearance before the trauma (for medicolegal
and future treatment as well. )
Was there a previous functional impairment in breathing before the trauma? etc.
11. PATHOGENESIS
Direction of the force:
Frontal direction : in fracture of the lower margin of the nasal bones
High frontal : nasal orbital ethmoid fracture
Heavier force : severe flattening or splaying of the nasal bones and fracture of the
septum
Lateral forces : depression of the ipsilateral nasal bone, out fracture of the
contralateral nasal bone
12. • If twisted or buckled : the fractured bony and/or
cartilaginous fragments are often interlocked,
septum dislocated off the maxillary crest Note. This
is important to identify because achieving an
adequate result with a closed technique may be
impossible in such a situation.
• Children’s noses: mostly cartilaginous and their
nasal bones are softer and more compliant,
absorbing little of the energy from the force of
trauma. It is also a common fact that birth trauma
could be the cause for septal deviations in these
patients. Septal hematoma is more common in
children. In children it is better to avoid open
reduction procedures and stick to closed
manipulation technique.
14. ROWE & KILEY (1968)
Described fractures of the nasal bones & or nasal septum
according to the impact only:
1. Lateral nasal injuries
2. Anterior nasal injuries
Drawback : only included the impact factor & nothing else (not
the force or bone involved)
15. MURRAYS PATHOLOGICAL
CLASSIFICATION
Various weights were dropped on cadavers noses & the
resultant fractured nasal pyramid was dissected out.
The fracture lines are described & particular reference is
directed to the involvement of the septum in grossly deviated
noses.
17. HARRISON’S CLASSIFICATION:
CLASS 1 CLASS 2 CLASS 3
CHEVALLET FRACTURE
mostly depressed fractures of nasal
bones
JARAWAY FRACTURE
These # cause a significant amount
of cosmetic deformity.
high velocity trauma.
AKA nasoorbital #/naso ethmoidal #..
The # line runs parallel to the dorsum
of the nose and naso maxillary suture
and joins at a point where the nasal
bone becomes thicker
In this group not only the nasal
bones are fractured, the underlying
fronto nasal process of the maxilla is
also fractured.
Ethmoidal labyrinth & orbit is intact
These fractures are always associated
with Le Fort fracture of the upper
face involving the maxilla also
Ethmoid being thin & full of air cells
forms a low resistence ‘crumple
zone”
Clinically :present as a depression
over the nasal bone area. tenderness
and crepitus over the affected nasal
bone. Radiological evidence may or
may not be present.
clinical diagnosis
Clinically : telecanthus is seen &
medial canthal ligament may be
disrupted from lacrimal crest.
Epiphora can also be there due to
lacrimal crest injury.

24. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Adequate lighting
Acute edema may hide deformities; however, a careful search for intranasal injury must take place
Patient should be placed in a comfortable, slightly reclined position
Nose should be externally observed from all angles
Bleeding can be controlled with topical cotton pledgets soaked in vasoconstrictors – 0.25%
phenylephrine – 4% cocaine, which also provides anesthesia.
Any open wound
Nasal airway evaluation :
(a) Obstruction
(b) Hematoma
(c) Septal deviation
25. • Other signs: –
(a) Oedema
(b)Skin laceration
(c)Periorbital ecchymosis
(d)cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea
(e) Olfactory disorders
Palpation : Evidence of nasal fracture
Mobility : of the nasal bones is assessed by grasping the dorsum btw two fingers and firmly rocking the
pyramid back & forth
Crepitations can also be felt
26. Frankfurt horizontal plane : from the superior aspect of EAC to inferior most point of infra orbital rim
27.
28. Internal examination
Assessment of nasal cavity using speculum via direct visualization or using endoscopy ( use of 0 or
30 degree 4mm rod telescope)
Not entirely necessary
However may provide additional information and rule out the following: –
(a)Mucosal tears
(b) Lacerations
(c)Ecchymosis
(d)Hematoma
Push the tip of the nose upward to check for integrity of the septal support system.
Retained blood clots should be removed with suctioning or swabbing using a frazier suction
procedure.
29. Radiography
Plain x ray films High resolution USG CT SCAN
Most commonly done Ultrasound using 10 MHz probe
gives a clear view
In cases of only
severe injury
Advantage Easily accessible & cheap . Excellent sensivity & specificity
esp regarding lateral nasal wall
fracture
Can not be missed even in
prescence of edema
No radiation injury
In injuries involving
naso-orbital-
ethmoidal complex.
Disadvantage Inability to cartilaginous injury esp in
children.
Limited scope that may miss
fracture outside the area of
interest &
Can misinterpret normal suture lines ,
vascular indentation lines, &
developmental thinning of nasal
bones
anatromical issues that prevent
adequate trasducer contact
33. INITIAL TREATMENT
Practitioners who are called upon to treat individuals who have been appropriately stabilized before
consultation must still follow the protocol set forth by the American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma
Life Support course.
Therefore it is mandatory that every new evaluation begins with an assessment of the ABCs (airway,
breathing, and circulation)
This is especially critical for cases in which narcotics and sedatives may be ordered by the consultant for pain
management or bedside procedures. A patient with a tenuous airway or poor hemodynamic reserve may
unexpectedly experience decompensation if signs such as increasing heart rate, tachypnea, or changing
mental status are not appreciated.
Nose bleeding & septal hematoma should be assessed too
Check for other facial fractures, e.g. orbital rim, mandible
Treatment begins with management of external soft tissue injuries (clean lacerations and carefully repair
them)
34. Epistaxis
Can range from minor mucosal oozing to life threatening large blood vessls bleed.
use of local vasoconstrictors if not controlled then localize the point of bleeding.
Anterior bleed should be cauterized by AgNO3 or may be sealed with gelatrin foam / fibrin glue or other procoagulant
Anterior nasal packaging
• If skull base fracture exists then iatrogenic intracranial injury should be avoided
If fails : then go for anteroposterior packing
Endoscopic Vessel cauterization or angiographic embolization can also be considered.
35. SEPTAL HEMATOMA
High risk of complications if left untreated can lead to necrosis if left untreated for 3 days.
Long term complications : saddle deformity, perforation, columellar retraction & nasal bone widening
Needle drainage ASAP & several small openings are left to allow for independent drainage.
Prophylactic treatment with an antibiotic (e.g., Augmentin or clindamycin)
Splints and transeptal dissolving sutures are placed to obliterate the potential space & prevent re
collection.
Untreated may result in intracranial abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, or meningitis
38. TIMING OF REDUCTION
Selection of appropriate timing is very important to obtain the best re-alignment possible
The development of fibrous connective tissue within the fracture line becomes the limiting factor
starting at around 10 days to 2 weeks after injury.
Hence the best time is to start before this phase.
A short period of delay is recommended during first 2-3 days to allow diminution of oedema so that
nasal bone position is best appreciated.
Treatment before this delay is reasonable only if patient comes to medical attention within an hour
or two after injury before edema has obscured the underlying structure.
39. Closed reduction Open reduction
CR involves manipulation of the nasal bones
without incision & is generally the preferred
choice
OR may include a range of
including septoplasty , osteotomy or
septorhinoplasty.
Indication: 1. Unilateral / bilateral # of nasal bones
2. # of nasal septal complex with nasal
deviation of less than half of the width of
nasal bridge
1. Bilateral # with dislocation of nasal
dorsum & significant pathological
changes
2. Infracture of nasal dorsum
40. Anesthesia for closed reduction
Proper pain management has become a very crucial topic these days.
However use of general anesthesia is not very feasible due to the various risks associated with it plus
scheduling conflicts & operating room availability these days.
Therefore alternative plan without sacrificing timely management includes:
• Combination of topical & injected anesthetic agent
41. After infiltration of c/l side topical soaked pledgets are placed posteriorly along the deep internal branch for 5
minutes to have maximum anesthesia.
To reduce the acidity caused by the injection itself buffering the lidocaine with 7.5% NaHCO3 in a 1 dilution by
volume
Infiltration should be done by a thin needle (27 gauge ) and slowly to lessen the pain from soft tissue dissection
by LA.
Application of EMLA cream over the nose 1hour before the reduction has in combination with topical has been
proven to be equally effective (less discomfort to patient as well)
Topical infilteration
Cotton pledegets soaked in 4% cocaine or 0.05%
oxymetazoline combined with 4% topical lidocaine are
placed strategically over the nasal cavity.
1% lidocaine with 1:100,000epinephrine is injected along
the septum, lateral wall & floor of nasal cavity
External nasal branch is blocked by via an inter
cartilaginous injection of the dorsum from rhinion to
supratip
Branches of anterior or posterior ethmoid ,
sphenoplataine & nasopalatine nerves
Branches of nasopalatine nerve are blocked with an
injection at the base of columella & nasal tip just inside
the nasal sill.
42. CLOSED REDUCTION
Most preferred treatment modality
Even if large deviations are seen closed reduction can be attempted prior to rhinoplasty as this would
simplify the task of the plastic surgeon
In mild cases when fragments are still in contact finger manipulation alone is sufficient but in this surgeon
doesn’t have much control & often will fail if there is impaction and can even result in worse deformity than
before.
47. CARTILAGENOUS CORRECTION WITH CLOSED
REDUCTION
The correction of the cartilaginous injuries with CR is often difficult & unsuccessful.
For ULC avulsion with medial displacement : reduction is possible if performed soon after the injury
followed by 10-14 days of internal packing.
If beyond 2 weeks then go for intercartilagenous incision with removal fibrous adhesion .
Is still there is poor response then go for cartilage grafting can be offered.
48. Causes of failure of closed reduction
Most common cause within 1st week to 10 days is unreduced septal fracture
Beyond 2nd week is fibrous tissue formation causing inadequate remodeling.
Even after proper timely reduction there is persistent deviation,then it can be a
Green stick fracture
49. GREEN STICK FRACTURE
Conversion of greenstick # to a complete one by osteotomy followed by
application of splint.
50. Care after reduction
Avoidance of activity that can lead to further trauma for next 6-8 weeks.
Regular nasal saline spray or irrigation are recommended to remove blood and to
avoid adhesions
Antibiotic coverage should also be given
Refraining from nasal blowing.
55. FIXATION
A Small gauze wires (26 or more ) passed through pre drilled holes can
secure fragments to stable parts of maxillary of frontal bone
Use of slow absorbing sutures instead wires
Titanium microplates & fibrin glue can also be used (alt bioabsorbale
fixation method that may help in speed wound healing & reduce post op
hematoma)
Use of cantilever bone in case of significant loss of dorsum
Autologus cranial bone or rib bone or cartilage or homograft bone or
cartilage can also be used
Lag screw fixation
57. Midline repositioning of quadrangular cartilage of the septum and
the vomer.
The septum is repositioned in its original midline position together
with the quadrangular cartilage and vomer.
As small suture may be placed from the anterior nasal spine to the
anterior portion of the septum to maintain its reduction.
