There is confusion in the current literature regarding the exact nature of the attachments of the medial crura of the lobular cartilage. There have been suggestions that these may be ligamentous, in case of the attachment between the paired medial crura, or membranous, in case of the attachment between the medial crus and the septum. In an attempt to clarify the situation and to define an unambiguous nomenclature an anatomical study has been undertaken involving the macroscopic dissection and histological examination of the noses of 11 caucasian cadavers. The results have not yielded any evidence to corroborate the presence of either a ligamentous or membranous attachment. Instead they show that these areas consist of irregularly arranged connective tissue which fails to meet the histological criteria of a ligament or membrane.

One of the most difficult problems in aesthetic rhinoplasty is in obtaining and maintaining adequate tip projection. Over 40 years ago, Dr. Irving Goldman described his technique of vertically incising the tip cartilages lateral to the domes and then bringing the medial crura together to increase tip projection. Tip grafting has been used more and more as the means of obtaining greater tip projection. However, difficulties with proper placement of these grafts, rotation, and displacement, as well as procuring graft material, have made these procedures somewhat more difficult for the surgeon and patient alike. In a retrospective review, 145 patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty with vertical division of the lower lateral cartilages in order to increase tip projection were compared with 41 patients who underwent tip grafting to achieve the same goal. Similar results were obtained in both groups; however, the vertical dome division patients were found to have fewer complications.
