Penetran thoracic wall traumas due to sharp devices

Abstract

Penetran thoracic wall traumas due to sharp devices are important injuries because of the intrathoracic vital organs and blood vessels anatomic locations. Because of these, these types of traumas should be examinated carefully, and might be needed surgical operations. Cases of intrathoracic organ injury, thoracic wall injury, been of foreign body are the many causes of the surgery. Delayed diagnosing or misdiagnosing increase the mortality and morbidity in such traumas.
