An original technique for surgical stabilisation of traumatic flail chest.

The treatment of chest wall injuries with severe paradoxical movement remains controversial. Intermittent positive-pressure respiration may be appropriate, but in some, especially those requiring exploratory thoracotomy for a visceral lesion, surgical fixation is desirable. We present a simple method using two or three stainless Kirschner wires placed in the chest wall. Results in five cases have been good.

Ectopia lentis secondary to physical abuse in a traumatized, elderly individual.

The proper diagnosis of ocular emergencies is usually straightforward since the patient generally can communicate the nature and circumstances of the injury. However, the mental status of the patient occasionally may seriously complicate obtaining an accurate history of the trauma. This may be particularly important when the patient has been physically abused by a relative. Ectopia lentis is a possible consequence of trauma. The elderly patient herein presented suffered ectopia lentis and had evidence of other systemic trauma. The proper management of a patient of this type will be discussed.
