Defining National Benchmarks for Operative Nasal Fracture Management: Perioperative Outcomes Across Nearly Two Decades of Multi-Institutional Data.

This national analysis provides benchmark-level evidence that operative management of nasal fractures is uniformly safe, with negligible perioperative morbidity across practice settings.

The operative approach is dictated by injury complexity rather than patient risk, thereby supporting an anatomy-driven treatment paradigm.

These findings define a national reference standard for perioperative safety and provide a foundation for future outcome-driven and patient-centered studies.
