Fracture of the first and second rib: incidence of vascular injury relative to type of fracture

JP Livoni and TC Barcia

Fractures of the first or second rib may be associated with underlying arterial injury in patients with blunt chest trauma. A total of 58 patients with fracture of the first of second rib was investigated; all patients subsequently underwent arteriography. The type of rib fracture (posterior, lateral), or anterior) was not found to be a useful predictor of underlying vascular injury. Also, the degree of displacement of the fracture fragments was of no value in predicting arterial injury.
