Immediate intubation was performed due to stupor mentality and respiratory distress at presentation. After resuscitation and physical examination, he was transferred to Trauma Intensive Care Unit. The chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple rib fractures at the bilateral anterior arch from 3rd to 6th ribs and comminuted fracture of the sternum (Fig. 1). He was diagnosed with anterior flail chest with concomitant injuries, i.e., fracture of the pedicle right at the 4th cervical spine, complex pelvic fracture including the right iliac wing, superior and inferior ramus of the bilateral pubis, sacrum ala, and intertrochanteric part of the right femur. On day 4 of hospitalization, rib CT was performed to evaluate sternum and rib fractures (Fig. 2). Five days later, surgical treatment was decided for the sternal fracture because weaning was still difficult despite reduced ventilator support and clear recovery of mental status. After a midline longitudinal incision between the 3rd and 5th costal notch, meticulous dissection was performed to expose healthy bones and 4th intercostal space. The DeBakey peripheral vascular clamp was used to carefully pass below the posterior segment, and then the Penrose tube was pulled and placed bilaterally (Fig. 3-1). Zipfix (Synthes GmbH, Oberdorf, Switzerland) was placed after the cutting needle passed through the Penrose tube. Hematoma removal was sequentially performed between the fragment and approximation, and then the Zipfix was tightened (Fig. 3-2).

Most cases warrant surgical repair. Thus, any signs and symptoms of intestinal perforation should be crucially detected, and a general surgeon should be immediately consulted. These signs include abdominal tenderness, abdominal distention, fever, and leukocytosis. With the advent of computed tomography (CT) scans, the detection rate of perforation improved. However, the signs and scans remain non-definitive in some cases. Here, we present two cases of near-missed intestinal perforation: one case was clearly suspected of intestinal perforation, whereas the other was not so apparent. First case A 55-year-old male presented to the emergency room (ER) after sustaining a fall from an approximately 3-m-high site with complaints of severe abdominal pain. His vital signs were stable. The CT scan revealed an apparent small pneumoperitoneum (Fig. 1). The patient was immediately brought to the operating room (OR) for exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a 2-cm-sized laceration at the antimesenteric border of the proximal jejunum. Minimal bowel content spillage was noted and there were no other internal organ injuries. The laceration was primarily repaired.
