Method: Study was under taken on young patients with nasal bone fractures .Closed reduction of the nasal fracture was done under topical anesthesia in outpatient department after 7-12 days of trauma. Patients were asked to score pain, cosmetics and airway patency immediately after procedure and on subsequent follow up. Results: Result of the study was evaluated in terms of pain on VAS scale, post-operative cosmetic, airway patency and reduction of nasal bone fracture. Maximum pain score was 3 on Visual analogue scale of 1to10. All the patients were happy with cosmetics and had an adequate air patency. Reduction of nasal bone fracture was evident on post of radiograph. Conclusion: Eutectic mixture of Lignocaine and Prilocaine is an effective topical anesthesia for closed reduction of nasal bone fracture and is safe, convenient, and avoid the risk related to general anesthesia.
