Abstract des Autors

Fractures of the ribs and the sternocostal joints are most frequently associated with severe blunt trauma to the chest. Although fractures of the proximal three ribs are infrequent, when present, they can often be associated with severe intrathoracic injury. Fractures of the second rib have been described in association with bench pressing. Injury to the costochondral junctions have been shown to occur in 58% of all chest injuries associated with wrestling in one series (7 of 12). We report on the diagnosis and treatment of a fracture-subluxation of the second sternocostal joint incurrent in an 18-year-old male wrestler. Verf.-Referat
