[Long-term results of rhinoplasty in nose injuries in childhood].

In 83 children who were 3 to 15 years of age, long-term results after rhinoplasty are analysed. In 32 cases we observed recurrent septal deviations, 12 children (14.5%) showing signs of significant nasal obstruction. No inhibition of bone growth was seen in 22 cases in connection with additionally performed osteotomies. Both the errors in surgery and the disturbances due to unpredictable growth of septal cartilage are discussed.
