The BEST timing for a radiograph of the
nose is:
A) As soon as possible after the trauma, once other
injuries are stabilized and more important problems
are addressed.
B) As soon as possible to assure that there are no
bone fragments threatening the brain.
C) There is no need for a radiograph acutely. You can
wait for 3 or 4 days.
D) There is no call for plain radiographs of the nose.
CT is preferable.
