Abstract
In a large regional trauma cooperative, increasing age and Injury Severity Score were independent predictors of survival among older patients incurring traumatic RFs. Admission to high-volume trauma centers, preexisting congestive heart failure, and intubation added to mortality. Therapies associate...

Abstract
Of 1,283 blunt trauma patients, 88 C-spine injuries were diagnosed with an overall incidence of 6.9%. One hundred fifty-nine patients (12%) had their C-spine cleared based on the NEXUS criteria and 12 died before C-spine imaging could be performed. A total of 717 patients were primarily evaluated wi...

Less-invasive stabilization of rib fractures by intramedullary fixation: a biomechanical evaluation.
Abstract
Because of their superior strength and absence of catastrophic failure mode, rib splints can serve as an attractive alternative to Kirschner wires for intramedullary stabilization of rib fractures, especially in the case of posterior rib fractures where access for plating is limited....

Abstract
Ribs fixated with OTPS mesh were significantly stiffer and failed at a significantly higher load than ribs fixated with intramedullary screws (p = 0.0001). Ribs fixated with OTPS mesh were less stiff than intact ribs but failed at a similar force to intact ribs. CONCLUSION: The Inion OTPS mesh syste...

Abstract
We hypothesize that rib fractures and minor LSI (RF+ minor LSI) are associated with DI. Patients with blunt injury undergoing exploratory laparotomy between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2007, were identified from our registry. The association between injury variables and DI was examined with lo...

We report a case of a calf-related fatality on a farm. The victim was a 60-year-old man who was possibly attempting to sexually approach the animal from behind when he was struck by it, sustaining fatal blunt injuries, mostly to the thorax. This case is reported because of its rarity and because of...

The authors report painful nonunions after multiple rib fractures in a 50-year-old man who sustained a displaced scapula fracture and multiple ipsilateral rib fractures. The rib nonunions were reconstructed after an 11-month trial of nonoperative management, which was unsuccessful. The nonunions hea...

Abstract
Average age, male to female ratio, and injury severe score were comparable for both cohorts (p > 0.6). Average follow-up was 16 months versus 12 months for the operative and nonoperative groups, respectively, (p = 0.11). In the operative group, 8 of 9 (89%) patients were extubated within 24 hours of...

We have reviewed our experience in managing 11 patients who sustained an indirect sternal fracture in combination with an upper thoracic spinal injury between 2003 and 2006. These fractures have previously been described as 'associated' fractures, but since the upper thorax is an anatomical entity c...

Abstract
OPTXs were missed in up to 76% of all seriously injured patients when CXRs were interpreted by the trauma team. This is higher than previously reported in retrospective studies and is likely based on the difficult conditions in which the trauma team functions. Subcutaneous emphysema remains a strong...

When a car collides against a pole-like obstacle, the deformation pattern of the vehicle body-side tends to extend to its upper region. A possible consequence is an increase of loading to the occupant thorax. Many studies have been conducted to understand human thoracic responses to...

Patterns of rib fractures are of significant clinical and forensic interest. Linking patterns of rib fracture with specific physical events provides a foundation for understanding the nature of traumatic events that are associated with rib fracture in forensic contexts. In this study, isolated human...
