The purpose of this cross-sectional prospective observational study is to determine the efficacy of high-resolution ultrasonography in identifying and characterizing nasal bone fractures in adult patients with recent facial trauma. The primary questions it aims to answer are: * Can high-resolution ultrasonography effectively detect nasal bone fractures? * Is high-resolution ultrasonography capable of indirectly detecting septal fractures? * What are the specificity and sensitivity of high-resolution ultrasonography in comparison to computed tomography scan? Participants will undergo examination and treatment in accordance with current standards for nasal fracture management. Additionally, high-resolution ultrasonography will be performed during the initial physical examination, preceding any therapeutic interventions.
