Abstract

Despite certain achievements in care provision to those with severe chest injury the problem of managing flail chest is far from being resolved. Traditional management includes forced continuous artificial pulmonary ventilation in order to provide internal pneumatic stabilization of the chest. However the results of this approach can not be recognized as satisfactory due to high frequency of complications, need for tracheostomy, long-term stay of such patients in the intensive care department, development of nosocomial infections.

Early restoration of the chest carcass with the help of costal valve fixation by the plate with angular stability allows reducing the duration of the artificial pulmonary ventilation and decreasing the frequency of potential respiratory and pleural complications.
