No CT Scan Done After my Accident and Missed the 7 Day Window for Reduction, What Now?

December 23, 2011
Asked By:YRH in Portland, Oregon

closed reduction. Now we are planning a closed rhinoplasty for 9 months post injury. Would a CT scan right after my accident prevented this outcome. Is closed reduction an easier procedure compared to rhinoplasty? Generally what are the typical outcomes and average costs on both these procedures? In my case, a ct scan done 21 days post injury revealed fractures, compressed nostril, displacement, and a bone fragment. Now waiting for rhinoplasty to repair it all. Opinions please?
