ABSTRACT
The bony nasal vault represents a complex three-dimensional structure, analogous to a truncated pyramid or pyramidal frustrum. By analyzing the nasal bones and determining the length and width of the nasal bones, appropriate surgical measures can be employed. In addition, a review of several different osteotomy techniques is performed.
