Summary: The original spreader graft described by Sheen was dissecting a sub perichondrial flap along the anterior edge of the septum and inserting the grafts in place and occasionally, fixing them with a mattress suture. Although it has been done usually with mattress suture, it has some disadvantages as the instability of the graft while it is being fixated and others. We present a different fixation method with a simple running suture instead.
