    AbstractSixteen patients with traumatic flail chest underwent surgical stabilization using procedures introduced by Rehbein, Judet and Vecsei. Compared with sixteen patients treated by internal stabilization with intermittent positive pressure respiration, there are some advantages: time of artificial respiration is shortened, early mobilization is possible, nursing is easier, the costs are lower. The procedure is indicated in those patients, in whom long-term artificial respiration is not necessary for other reasons.
