Abstract
Background: One of the most common sequelae of blunt thoracic trauma is rib fractures. The detection of rib fractures is important to detect associated injuries such as pneumothoraces, hemothoraces, pulmonary contusion, flail chest, pneumonia, vascular and nerve damage, abdominal organ injury, to prevent complications such as atelectasis and acute respiratory failure, to document the injury for medical-legal purposes, to detect pathologic fractures, to count how many ribs are broken etc. Aim of the study: This research study was done to study the relationship between the rib fractures and various variables such as age, sex, manner of injury, type of road traffic accident, position in the vehicle, seatbelt use and airbag deployment in case of 4 wheeler accidents, weapon of assault, number of assailants, height of fall etc. Material & method: To achieve the objectives of this study we focused only on individuals who sustained rib fractures who presented in the emergency of our hospital. Conclusion: By, correctly construing the injury patterns, we can gather useful information for reconstruction of the circumstances at the time of the alleged incident.
