Abstract
The biomechanics of septal cartilage as they apply to septoplasty are studied. The original investigations on septal cartilage are reviewed and summarized. Biomechanical principles of the behavior of cartilage are reviewed and applied to the principles of septoplasty surgery. Using pigs' ears, theoretical predictions are investigated and verified. Incorporating this information, an approach to septoplastic surgery is described.Keywords
