An unusual cause of rib fracture following a road traffic accident.

R J Daniels1, R A Fulcher.   

Abstract

A case is presented which is thought to be the first described example of rib fracture occurring as a result of airbag inflation. It would appear that the propellant cartridge came loose during deployment to form a missile, striking the patient on his chest and fracturing a rib.
