AbstractThe results of chest radiography in 581 patients with blunt minor thoracic trauma were reviewed. Frontal and lateral views of the chest indicated pathology in 72 patients (12.4%). Pneumothorax was present in 16 patients; 4 had hemothorax. The physical examination and the results of chest radiography were not in accordance because in 6 (30%) of the 20 patients with hemo/pneumothorax the physical examination was normal. Consequently there is wide indication for chest radiography after minor blunt chest trauma.
