Summary

Fifty-seven patients who had sustained nasal fractures during childhood were divided into three groups, according to the age at which the fracture had taken place. These three groups were based on the normal periods of development of the nose. They were compared with regard to possible sequelae after fracture. The results are discussed and an example from each group is shown.
