Abstract

Effective management of naso orbito ethmoidal fractures involves both functional and esthetic correction. While functional correction is routinely achieved, in our experience, most secondary deformities resulted from inadequate nasal bridge projection. We hereby suggest a simple technique to stabilize the nasal bridge after mild overcorrection thereby improving the esthetic outcome in naso orbito ethmoidal fractures.
