Operation with Judet`s Strut for Flail Chest

This reports describes our experience with the operative stabilization of flail chest with the use of Judet’s struts. Two patients with flail chest, the method allowed shorter duration of artificial ventilation and decreased functional sequelae. We find this technique to be better than previously published method, since it provides better stabilization and immobilization of the ribs and thus obviates the need for artificial ventilation and prevents post-traumatic chest deformity.
