nyc-broken-nose-sportsA broken nose, or nasal fractures, commonly are the result of a traumatic event, such as a car accident or a sports injury that impacts the bones at the bridge of the nose.

Both kids and adults who are professional and amateur athletes are at risk of nasal fractures, which at times might include coinciding damage to cartilage. Such injuries may result in host of symptoms, ranging from swelling and bleeding to deformity of the nose and difficulty breathing.

In sports, broken noses may at times seem like a necessary evil.

Pitcher Bryan Mitchell of the New York Yankees, for example, endured a nasal fracture when he was hit in the face by a line drive in the 2015 season; Miami Heat basketball star LeBron James suffered a broken nose during a game the previous year when a ball slapped by an opposing player caught him in the face, and hockey’s Jason Chimera of the Washington Capitals battered his nose several months later during a collision on the ice.
