Abstract

Correction of a saddle nose deformity due to atrophic rhinitis is a formidable task. The thick and puckered skin secondary to long standing disease makes the creation of a dorsal subdermal pocket difficult. On the one hand, these patients tolerate synthetic implants poorly and on the other they show an unusually high rate of absorption of autologous bone graft. Our experience of treating 15 patients with saddle nose defor mity secondary to atrophic rhinitis is presented.
