Abstract
- The authors present the case of a 57-year-old man with polytrauma, who was injured in a train accident. Together with other injuries, he also sustained multiple comminuted fractures on the left half of the rib cage. These subsequently required surgical intervention because of thoracic instability and impending lung injury. Extensive damage to the thoracic skeleton was treated by removal of the damaged tissues and replacement by the HI-TEX PARP NT implant. The presented procedure is being discussed as an alternative to metallic fixation in thoracic instability in cases of devastating injury or injury resulting in bone and tissue loss.
