摘要
Background/purpose: The combination of ipsilateral floating shoulder and flail chest is a unique injury pattern that has not been previously described in the literature. We termed the injury pattern floating flail chest (FFC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of operative treatment of the shoulder girdle component to overall hospital length of stay (LOS). Methods: Forty-one patients were enrolled between two level I trauma centers identifying with a combination ipsilateral floating shoulder and flail chest injury, 23 treated with operative stabilization and 18 treated non-operatively. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the overall LOS and intensive care unit (ICU) days. Results: The operative group had decreased overall LOS (10.1 vs. 19.8 days, p = 0.02) and decreased ICU days (3.4 vs. 10.3, p = 0.04). Conclusion: This study describes a unique injury pattern that combines the floating shoulder and flail chest, FFC. Our study suggests that operative treatment of the shoulder girdle may decrease both overall LOS and ICU days in patients with FFC.
