Signs of a Broken Nose
4. Bent
Perhaps the most obvious sign that the nose has been broken is that it is misshapen. This will mean that the bone in the nose has literally been fractured it must be in order for it to be so misshapen.
When it is visibly clear in this manner, x-rays and other methods are not necessary to reach a diagnosis. When this happens, it is not uncommon for sports people to have their nose reset there and then. It is obviously going to be painful, but it helps ensure the patient can continue breathing through their nose. It also helps aesthetically because it helps to prevent the nose from becoming set in a bent position.
