Findings on Medical Devices and Surgical Technology Detailed by Investigators at Case Western Reserve University (Utility of Ct or X-ray In the Management of Adult Nasal Fracture).

A recent study conducted at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, aimed to evaluate the use of imaging in the management of nasal fractures in adults and determine if imaging is beneficial for surgical planning. The study found that patients without imaging were more likely to have surgery than those with imaging, suggesting that imaging may be unnecessary for surgical planning. The research also revealed that surgical rates for adults with nasal fractures are much lower than those for pediatric patients. This study provides valuable insights into the management of nasal fractures in adults and highlights the differences in surgical rates between adult and pediatric populations.
