Transfixion injury of the chest.

A E Wood.   

Abstract

A case of massive transfixion of the chest is described. It was sustained by an 18-year-old male during a high-speed motor accident. After initial treatment and operative management, complications included hemothorax and empyema. Following drainage and gentamicin the patient recovered uneventfully. Rapid transportation and correct initial management undoubtedly contributed to survival.
