| Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of nasal fractures in the Southern region of Egypt during the study period and compare it to the literature. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of records of the patients who were presented to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (Sohag University Hospital) in the period from (November 2018 to October 2019) with traumatic nasal bone fractures (NBF). Demographic data such as age, sex, cause of injury, and relevant clinical data were all reviewed. Results: Ninety-three patients with complete records fulfilled criteria and were included in this study. There was male predominance (83.9%) with mean age of was 23.22±13.85 years. Road traffic accident (RTA) was the main cause in 53.8%, assault from others reported in 24.7% of the patients. Fractures due to falls were reported in 18.3% and 3.2% due to animal kick. 4.3% in the study population had septal hematoma. 28% of the patients had soft tissue lacerations on the nose. 16.1% had associated facial bone fractures. 2.2% had associated cranial injury. Associated systemic lesions were found in 20.4% of patients, with prevalence for injuries to the upper (10.7%) and lower limbs (6.5%). Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed male predominance and RTA as main cause of NBF in southern Egypt. Epidemiological and etiological characteristics probably reveal the socioeconomic and cultural background of the study population. | ||||
