Usefulness of indirect open reduction via a transconjunctival approach for the treatment of nasal bone fracture associated with orbital blowout fracture Open
We presented here that our method enables simultaneous operation of nasal fracture accompanied by orbital blowout fracture, rather than treating the two fractures separately, and it allows precise reduction of the nasal fracture by direct …
