Trunk Trauma Part 1: Penetrating Chest Injury and Physiotherapy
Send us a text
Thoracic trauma affects over 60% of trauma cases worldwide, with penetrating injuries presenting unique challenges. The damage to the thorax ranges from localized tissue injury in stab wounds to extensive internal devastation from high-velocity bullets that create shock waves and cavity formation throughout the chest. By understanding the pathophysiology of penetrating chest trauma and implementing evidence-based interventions, physiotherapists transform outcomes for these critically injured patients.
