Аннотация
RATIONALE: Rib fractures are common among patients with blunt chest wall trauma and often represent life-altering injuries.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 31-year-old woman presented with right chest trauma, with pain and bleeding as a result of a traffic accident 1 hour previously.
DIAGNOSES: Chest computed tomography showed open chest trauma, multiple rib fractures, flail chest, hemopneumothorax, and lung contusion on the right side.
INTERVENTIONS: We decided to perform debridement via emergency, thoracoscopic exploration to remove blood and contaminants from the chest cavity. Thereafter, the third to seventh fractured ribs were fixed and reconstructed using the matrix rib internal fixation system, followed by suturing of the incision according to the original anatomical level.
OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged 15 days after surgery, and recovered well with satisfactory results.
LESSONS: We believe that initial chest reconstruction with internal fixation in the first stage following thorough debridement may be suitable for treating flail chest, and could save the patient's life in the early stages. However, the decision to perform the first-stage operation for the open contaminated wound should be carefully considered.
