A recent break can often be set at A&E, but a nose damaged or flattened by an old injury will need to be repaired surgically with a rhinoplasty.

Do's and don'ts of fracture?

* DO immobilze and protect the site. * DO pad any immobilizing device or splint. * DON'T try to reduce a fracture in the field unless you're literally days away from help. * DO consider pain control unless you'll reach an ER in the next 30 minutes or so. * DO Icepack. 10 minutes on; 10 minutes off -- the idea is to chill it hard and fast without freezing the skin. * DO control bleeding from a compound fracture. Also bandage the injury point to minimize contamination. * DON'T try to straigten the limb. * DON'T as the patient to move the limb or extremties distal to the break -- if you need a neurological assessment confine it to sensory nerves -- leave the motor nerves for the ER. * DON'T let the patient put weight on the wound site, directly or indirectly, unless you can't transport and the patient needs to help move (wilderness first aid). * DON'T try to decide if it's a sprain or a fracture in the field unless it'll make a difference in your treatment (i.e. if you're transporting, and can reach care soon, don't even try to tell. If you're days from help, that's different, but exceeds the scope of this answer).
