Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Therapeutic outfracture is a surgical procedure involving breaking the small bones of the turbinates and pushing them out of the way of the nasal passage. This allows more room for swelling without causing a nasal blockage. It can be performed with a local anesthetic or with general anesthesia.
