Nasal fracture fixed via closed reduction

March 31, 2016
Asked By:Johann90779 in Dallas, TX

I broken my nose a long time ago and the doctor wrote down he used manual digital pressure to fix the splayed left nasal bones and a bose elevator to reduce the depressed right nasal bones, I am guessing since he wrote "left nasal bones" instead of singular nasal bone and "right nasal bone(s)" instead of nasal bone, that I had a comminuted fracture judging by his word usage? and if it was broken into say 4 pieces maybe 2 for each nasal bone, would open reduction have been a better choice?
