Do Disparities Exist in the Timing of Traumatic Nasal Repair?

In this large ACS-TQIP sample, most patients who did undergo nasal bone repositioning received it within the standard of care, with only minor timing variations based on demographic and geographic factors. In cases with higher injury severity, life-threatening injuries were prioritized before addressing nasal bone fractures. Further research should investigate initial care-access inequities in patients who experienced facial trauma but did not receive comprehensive care.
