Q: Use of ethmoid bone grafts in Rhinoplasty
A:
The problem with bone grafts is that they are not as dependable an alternative as cartilage grafts. Large surgical case series show that cartilage grafting in the nose produces long lasting dependable results. I think you can tell this from the consensus of opinions among the other surgeons. I also agree that 5 hours is likely too long as far as operative time is concerned even for revision surgery.
