An unusual cause of chest pain
Flail chest is an uncommon condition that generally arises due to a significant impact to the chest, resulting in multiple fractures of the anterior and posterior ribs. This force may be much less if the bones are weakened for any reason, in osteoporosis or myeloma for instance. We describe a case of flail segment that arose secondary to a large sternal abscess resulting from methicillin-resist...
متن کاملUse of bilevel positive airway pressure ventilatory support for pathological flail chest complicating multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a common disease that universally involves the skeletal system. Although rib involvement may occur, the development of pathological flail chest is rare. We describe the treatment and course of this condition in an elderly female, and the use of the bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilatory system in providing pneumatic stabilization, while definitive chemotherapy ...
متن کاملCrossed Kirschner’s wires for the treatment of anterior flail chest: an extracortical rib fixation
Objective: Thoracic trauma may be a life-threatening condition. Flail chest is a severe chest injury with high mortality rates. Surgery is not frequently performed and, in Literature, data are controversial. The authors report their experience in the treatment of flail chest by an extracortical internal-external stabilization technique with Kirshner’s wires (K-wires). <...
متن کاملThe modified Ravitch approach for the management of severe anterior flail chest with bilateral sternochondral dislocations: a case report
The management of flail chest continues to evolve as scientific evidence and surgical experience accumulates. Flail chest injuries that span the sternum present a rare and complicated injury pattern that can be challenging to manage both medically and surgically. Our patient is a 69-year-old involved in a high-speed motor vehicle crash with respiratory failure secondary to an anterior flail che...
متن کاملRib Fracture Fixation Restores Inspiratory Volume and Peak Flow in a Full Thorax Human Cadaveric Breathing Model
BACKGROUND Multiple rib fractures cause significant pain and potential for chest wall instability. Despite an emerging trend of surgical management of flail chest injuries, there are no studies examining the effect of rib fracture fixation on respiratory function. OBJECTIVES Using a novel full thorax human cadaveric breathing model, we sought to explore the effect of flail chest injury and su...
