Abstract Introduction The utilization of local or regional anaesthesia for manipulation of nasal fractures (MNF) avoids the need for general anaesthetic (GA), and the risk associated with instrumentation of the airway during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, MNF under local anaesthetic (LA) provides similar results with regards to cosmesis and patient satisfaction. We present our experience of performing MNF under LA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method A single-centre, prospective study of all patients undergoing MNF under LA was conducted (13th July/20–11thSeptember/20). Following reduction, pain scores and patient satisfaction surveys were administered. Results A total of 25 patients (M/F:16/9, median age, 25.6yr (14-52yr)) were enrolled. The majority of patients received either one or two instillations of LA (n = 19, 76%). Pain reported during the MNF procedure was 4.4/10, whilst pain during LA administration was reported as 3.2/10. 80% of patients felt instillation of LA was less painful than expected. 88% of respondents tolerated the LA well, and only 8% would have opted for general anaesthetic. 24 (96%) participants were happy with the cosmetic result. Discussion MNF under LA is a safe and effective alternative to MNF under GA. More literature is needed to define the best method of administering LA prior to performing MNF.

Abstract Purpose To report our experience using endoscopic intranasal incision reduction (EIIR) for nasal fractures and to assess effectiveness of the method. Methods 30 patients who underwent EIIR were retrospectively analysed. All the patients were examined by three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT), acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry, preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 month. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the preoperative aesthetics and nasal airflow satisfaction and at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. VAS aesthetic satisfaction was also scored by two junior doctors. Results 3D CT showed that the fracture fragments fitted well in 30 patients postoperatively at 1 month. VAS aesthetics and nasal airflow scores were significantly improved postoperatively at 1, 3 and 6 months compared with preoperative scores (P < 0.01). The VAS aesthetic scores from the two surgeons were also significantly improved (P < 0.01). The minimal cross-sectional area increased from 0.39 ± 0.13 to 0.64 ± 0.13 (P < 0.001), the nasal volume increased from 4.65 ± 0.86 to 6.37 ± 0.94 (P < 0.001) and the total inspiratory airway resistance of the bilateral nasal cavity median decreased from 0.467 Pa/mL/s to 0.193 Pa/mL/s (P < 0.001). There were no technique-related intraoperative complications. Conclusion EIIR was a practical choice, and the aesthetics and nasal airflow were significantly improved in patients with overlapped and displaced bone fragments, patients with fractures of the frontal process of the maxilla (FFPM), patients who underwent failed CR and patients beyond the optimal temporal window.

Zygomatic Fractures

Zygomatic arch fractures are the most common facial fractures or second in frequency after the nasal fractures. The high incidence of zygomatic fractures probably relates to its prominent position in the facial skeleton hence it is frequently exposed to fractures.

Abstract Aim Nasal fractures (NF) are the most common ENT presentation and commonly managed in the clinic or A&E. With the recent COVID pandemic, this study aims to assess the difference in demographics, incidence and aetiology in NF since the start of the first lockdown (16/03/2020) as well as management of nasal fractures. Method Retrospectively, data collection on demographics, history and management over 5 years (2015-2020) for all patients presenting with symptoms of nasal fracture. Data was collected on password-protected Excel spreadsheet and subsequent statistical analysis performed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Results A total of 346 patients were identified of which 36 were diagnosed during the lockdown. Seventy-one percent were ≤40 years old and common aetiology recorded was assault (n = 85), sports (n = 85) and falls (n = 77). Mechanical fall was the common aetiology in older patients. Across gender, falls was the most common aetiology in females (37/94) and assault for males (72/246). Epistaxis (57%) and nasal congestion (31.8%) were most commonly reported symptoms. Before lockdown, Fifty-six percent of the cohort underwent manipulation of NF under local anaesthetic and no intervention needed in 39% while 58% underwent no intervention during the lockdown. No patients were readmitted in 30 days who were treated conservatively or with local anaesthetic during the lockdown. Conclusions This study showed that the most common cause of NF was sports and assault while during the lockdown, falls was the leading cause. More patients were managed conservatively during the lockdown with no 30-readmission showing that conservative management was as effective as management under local anaesthetic.

Nasal Fractures

This paper reported a study on the 3-dimensional deep-learning-based automatic diagnosis of nasal fractures. (1) Background: The nasal bone is the most protuberant feature of the face; therefore, it is highly vulnerable to facial trauma and its fractures are known as the most common facial fractures worldwide. In addition, its adhesion causes rapid deformation, so a clear diagnosis is needed early after fracture onset. (2) Methods: The collected computed tomography images were reconstructed to isotropic voxel data including the whole region of the nasal bone, which are represented in a fixed cubic volume. The configured 3-dimensional input data were then automatically classified by the deep learning of residual neural networks (3D-ResNet34 and ResNet50) with the spatial context information using a single network, whose performance was evaluated by 5-fold cross-validation. (3) Results: The classification of nasal fractures with simple 3D-ResNet34 and ResNet50 networks achieved areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 94.5% and 93.4% for binary classification, respectively, both indicating unprecedented high performance in the task. (4) Conclusions: In this paper, it is presented the possibility of automatic nasal bone fracture diagnosis using a 3-dimensional Resnet-based single classification network and it will improve the diagnostic environment with future research.
