A member asked:

Does a nondisplaced anterior nasal bone fracture need surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Alvin Stein answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Not usually: Need to allow the swelling to go down and if that is the only issue , then surgery is not needed , but there could be cartilage damage in the nose area and that requires a physician exam to make a decision.
