Where is the L strut? (Photo)

stevenu
I am terribly confused and can't seem to get a staightfoward answer that is correct. I had a 1cm L strut septal/caudal left. I feel though when I put my finger in my nose the septum definitely does not feel like there is septum there!! Is it soft like just mucosa. I am confused where the L strut is? All the diagrams show I should have septal cartlidge between the walls but it does not. And some doctors tell me it is width not length. I am so confused? Can someone explain or provide a diagram.
