Answer: What's the difference between an infracture and an osteotomy? Thank you for your question. These 2 terms of her certainly related, although not identical. An osteotomy is a precise and controlled cut of the nasal bones that occurs during surgery. Once this is done, the nasal bones can be moved outward (outfracture) or the nasal bones can be moved inward (infracture), which is typically what is done. Once the nasal bones are and fractured, this can help to narrow widened nasal bones and help with the nasal bridge to not be as white.Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon if you are considering having a rhinoplasty.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Infracture versus osteotomy An osteotomy is a controlled incision along any bone with the intent of changing the position of that bone typically. As it pertains to the nose, an osteotomy allows for the movement of the nasal bones usually with the goal of narrowing that part of the nose. An osteotomy can also be performed in order to shift the bone outward but this is an unusual situation. The term infracture refers to the actual shifting of the nasal bone toward the middle of the face. Infractures are typically performed after osteotomies. Hope this helps.

Answer: Infracture of the nasal bone Infracture is a term that some use to say that they moved the nasal bones inward after performing an osteotomy. The term can also be used in other surgeries.
