Nasal bone fractures and the use of radiographic imaging: An otolaryngologist perspective

American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery Sep 19, 2019

Westfall E, Nelson B, Vernon D, et al. - Researchers created an 8-question survey to identify radiologic preferences of practicing otolaryngologists regarding isolated nasal bone fractures. One hundred forty doctors responded to the survey. According to findings, otolaryngologists rarely ask for imaging to assess and treat isolated fractures of the nasal bone. When ordered, imaging is used more frequently among residents-in-training and non-otolaryngology consulting doctors. This research shows a chance to educate primary care and emergency room providers as well as residents of otolaryngology on the importance of comprehensive physical exam over radiographic imaging in isolated nasal fractures over radiographic imaging in the work. Furthermore, widespread adoption in this setting of a “no x-ray policy” may lead to better use of resources.
