Associated thoracic injuries did not influence sternal or spinal treatment outcomes.

However, pedestrians sustained twice as many head injuries as thoracic injuries.

The management of traumatic thoracic injuries is an area in which thoracoscopic techniques may have significant impact.

Emergency services treated the man for thoracic injuries, which the hospital said were "not severe."

Background: Injuries of thoracic vertebrae in multiple trauma patients are often accompanied by severe thoracic injuries and sensorimotor deficits.

These predictors can be used to create a sensible clinical decision rule for the identification of children with thoracic injuries.

The symptoms are variable, and these injuries frequently occur in conjunction with other thoracic injuries, leading to delays in diagnosis.

Concomitant injuries occurred with 83% of thoracic injuries and multiple vascular injuries occurred in 25%.

However, no test procedure exists for thoracic injuries, which is the body region with the second highest number of severe or fatal injuries.

Additional injuries to the head and neck region occurred in 83% of the patients and thoracic injuries occurred in 77% of the patients.

Thoracic injuries were primarily blunt rupture or penetrating injury to the thoracic aorta (nine patients).
