Anatomy
Slide5Anterior Thoracic Landmarks
Suprasternal Notch – U shaped depression
Sternum – “breastbone” = 3 parts
ManubriumBodyXiphoid processAngle of Louis – manubriosternal angle continuous with the 2nd RibCostal angle- usually 900 or <. (increases when rib cage is chronically overinflated)
Slide6Slide7Posterior Thoracic Landmarks
Vertebra
Prominens
– Flex head, feel most prominent bony projection at base of neck = C7 next lower one is T1Spinous Processes – spinal column- Scapula – symmetrical , lower tip at the 7 -8th Rib12th Rib = midway b/t spine & side
Slide8Slide912 pairs of ribs
7 true ribs
5 false ribs (including 2 floating ribs)
Head of rib articulates with vertebraRibs move as a unit to accommodate breathingIntercostal spaces = (spaces between ribs)Ribs
Slide10False and Floating Ribs
All 12 pairs of ribs attach to the building blocks of the spine (vertebrae) in the back. The 12 pairs of ribs consist of:
True ribs: The first seven ribs
attach to the sternum (the breast bone) in the front and are known as true (or sternal) ribs. False ribs: The lower five ribs do not directly connect to the sternum and are known as false ribs.The upper three false ribs connect to the costal cartilages of the ribs just above them. The
last two (#11 and 12) are false ribs. They have no ventral attachment (no anchor at all in front) and are called floating ribs.
Slide11Slide12Supernumerary (Extra) Rib present above the 1
st
rib
Arises from 7th cervical vertebra Present in 1 in 500 peoples Can cause thoracic outlet syndrome due to compression on the brachial plexus and subclavian artery.Cervical Rib
Slide13Slide14Slide15Slide16Slide17Slide18Trauma is the most important cause of rib fractures
First Rib :
Rare , associated with cranial, maxillofacial ,cervical spinal injuries , multiple rib fractures and life threatening vascular injuries.
Second, Third and fourth : Associated with major vascular injuries and injury to brachial plexus. Rib Fractures
Slide19Fifth to Ninth ribs :
can be single or multiple. Multiple fractures can present as flail chest, which is present when paradoxical respiratory movement occurs in a segment of the chest wall.
This type of fracture requires at least 2 segmental fractures in each of 3 adjacent ribs, the costal cartilages, or the sternum Rib Fractures
Slide20Tenth to
twelfth
ribs
: Associated with thoracic and lumber vertebral injuries Injuries to spleen , kidneys adrenals , liver may occur. Rib Fractures
Slide21Pathological Rib Fractures:
occurs spontaneously without trauma due to weakness of the bone by the underlying disease.
- Metastasis - Multiple myeloma - Hyperparathyroidism Rib Fractures
Slide22Slide23Pulmonary contusion
(almost always)
Airspace disease representing hemorrhage into the alveoli usually subjacent to the point of impact
Pulmonary laceration Lacerations in the lung may be blood-containing, air-containing, or bothFrequently masked by the surrounding pulmonary contusionPneumothorax (very common) Since the severity of the injury means a supine radiograph will be performed, pneumothoraces may only be seen on chest CTHemothorax (common)
Pneumomediastinum Subcutaneous emphysema Mediastinal
hemorrhage
Aortic injuries
Complications
Slide24Flail chest is traditionally described as the paradoxical movement of a segment of chest wall caused by fractures of 3 or more ribs anteriorly and posteriorly within each rib.
Variations
include posterior flail segments, anterior flail segments, and flail including the sternum with ribs on both sides of the thoracic cage fractured
.Severe blunt trauma Flail chest
Slide25Slide26Slide27Sternum
breastbone
Lies in anterior midline of thorax
Three parts:ManubriumBodyXiphoid process Surface landmarksJugular notchSternal angle ( angle of Louis)
Slide28Manubrium
Broad, upper part of the sternum
Quadrangular shape, wider superiorly and narrower inferiorly
Articulates with the clavicles and the first two ribs.
Slide29Manubrialsternal
Joint
A ridge where the manubrium and the body of the sternum meet
Raised horizontal ridge located at the second rib joint
Slide30Xiphoid Process
Xiphoid means
“
sword-shaped”May be bone or cartilageApex of thoracic arch“Pit” of stomach, where heartburn often occurs
Slide31Blunt trauma to chest
Rarely may occur during CPR
Stress fractures weight lifters , golfers
Long term steroids, severe kyphosisFractures usually occurs at body or manubriumX-Rays Chest PA & Lateral Views , USG Chest CT chest.Sternal Fractures
Slide32Slide33Slide34Normal chest
Slide35Most common congenital deformity of anterior chest wall.
Also called funnel chest , sunken chest, cobblers chest.
Lower end of sternum is depressed
alongwith costal cartilages. Treatment is surgical repair.Pectus excavatum
Slide36Slide37Pectus Excavatum (Funnel)
Slide38AP diameter is equal or more than transverse diameter.
COPD
Barrel Shape chest
Slide39Barrel Chest
Slide40Also called pigeon chest.
Characterized by protrusion of sternum and ribs
Congenital, Obstructive airway disease,
Marfan syndrome, turner syndrome, Ehlers danlos syndrome.Treatment is external braces or surgical.Pectus Carinatum
Slide41Pectus Carinatum (Pigeon)
Slide42Very rare
Sternal defects can be categorized into 4 types
,:
thoracic ectopia cordis cervical ectopia cordis thoracoabdominal ectopia cordis cleft sternum. Sternal foramina – perforation in sternal body clinically insignificant.Perforation of xiphoid process in elderly.Sternal defects
Slide43Often used for bone marrow needle biopsy because of its breadth and subcutaneous position
Commonly used for specimen for bone marrow transplant and for the detection of metastatic cancers and blood
dyscrasias
.Sternal Biopsy

Slide46Slide47Slide48Slide49Surgical creation of an opening through the thoracic wall
Types :
- Anterior thoracotomy - Posterolateral thoracotomy - Anterolateral thoracotomyPosterolateral thoracotomy is the most commonly used site. Thoracotomy
Slide50Sternal splitting for the
mediastinal
operations
For upper lobe lung tumoursCABAG After surgery the halves of sternum are joined using wire sutures.Median sternotomy
Slide51Slide52Slide53Slide54Atelectasis, the permanent collapse of lung tissue
Benign (non-cancerous) tumors or cysts
Confirmation of a diagnosis, such as for lung disease
Diaphragm disordersDiseased or damaged blood vessels of the heart or lungsEmpyema, or infection in the chest cavityHeart diseaseHemothorax, or blood in the lungsLung damage caused by emphysema or bronchietasisPleurodesis, a procedure to treat a buildup of fluid in the chest cavityPneumothorax, or injuries that cause the collapse of lung tissuePulmonary embolism, or a blood clot in the lungs or pulmonary arterySevere and very specific types of chest injury or trauma, such as certain types of stabbings or gunshot wounds Some types of cancer including lung cancerTrachea (windpipe) or esophageal (swallowing tube) conditionsIndications of thoracotomy
Slide55A bone graft is surgery to place new bone or bone substitutes into spaces around a
broken bone
or bone defects
.If the transplanted bone comes from another person, it is called an allograft. If the transplanted bone comes from another part of your own body, it is called an autograft. Bone Grafting
