Wikipedia "nasal bones" and take a look at the diagram. You'll notice they're seated between the eyes and directly adjacent to the frontal bone. One good haymaker breaks all of them. It can look like nothing more than a shiner and a busted nose.
Yes I know that. But consider the description of the surgery (according to the post) which leads me to believe this is what is called an "orbital blowout". Diplopia would be one of the first symptoms checked for (according to the OP, his vision was perfect.....kinda odd dont you think). You would also have to assume it is a retropultion fracture of the orbital floor. Naso-orbital fractures are not <normally> caused by fists, elbows or kicks (major cause is usually car accidents)......Medial wall blowout fractures usually are.
Also, orbital fractures are NOT treated surgically immediately which also leads this story to be bullshite. They wait till swelling subsides. Surgery treatment for this can be safely put off for up to two weeks.
Visually the eye may also be sunken in if the wall has collapse.

Just for the record, the original post in this thread said that they were waiting for the swelling to go down before surgery.

McChowderMD,
Had I known you were actually Dr Quinn Medicine Woman masquerading as some know-it-all with internet access, I would have kept to my lurking, as there is no need for any of my silly, experience-based, surgically-refined, ruminations when Johnny CIS is on the case.
Please provide your contact information so that I may call you today for expert consult should I encounter any problems as I operate.
