Abstract :
[en] We report the case of a young woman who suffered from a severe traffic accident with major thoracic trauma consisting of hemopneumothorax and flail chest. At day 5 of mechanical ventilation, a surgical reduction and fixation of the fractured ribs were performed; the patient was liberated from mechanical ventilation the next day and discharged from the intensive care unit two days later. The success of this local first case incites us to further a similar approach in such challenging trauma cases.
