This article describes the technique of manipulation of nasal bones under local anaesthesia. With increased demand on day ward and in patient hospital beds there is a growing need to treat fractured nasal bones under local anaesthesia at the ENT clinic. Ten patients were treated in this fashion in the out patient setting. All had X rays confirming a fracture of the nasal bones. All ten had an obvious cosmetic deformity of the nose as a result of the fracture. All ten patients underwent satisfactory reduction under local anaesthesia and without the need for intra nasal manipulation to elevate overlapping bones. Reduction of nasal bones in the clinic under local anaesthesia should become the accepted practice where there is a deformity but no overlap of the nasal bones.
