One case report: Surgical treatment of a flail chest caused by a wedge-shaped avulsion fracture of manubrium sterni
Objective
The surgical treatment experience of one case of sternal manubrium wedge-shaped avulsion fracture combined with multiple costal cartilage fractures resulting in anterior flail chest is summarized.
Methods
A 53-year-old male patient with sternal manubrium avulsion fracture and costal cartilage fractures caused by a bull goring injury was treated with a multi-material combined fixation strategy (wire cerclage reduction + titanium plate and screw fixation + memory alloy embracing device). The wire threading technique and flexible costal cartilage fixation technique were optimized during the surgery.
Results
The surgery successfully achieved stable fixation of the sternum and costal cartilage, with postoperative CT showing good alignment and disappearance of paradoxical breathing. The patient did not undergo any loosening of the internal fixation, recovering smoothly.
Conclusion
The combined application of wire cerclage, plate fixation, and memory alloy internal fixation can effectively treat sternal manubrium avulsion fractures combined with flail chest.
期刊介绍:
Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
