Rib fractures are the most frequent injury after blunt thoracic trauma. It is very important to choose the most appropriate interventions to prevent complications. But who will benefit most of those interventions remains a challenge. This study analyses the correlation between chest X-Ray and CT scan. We also analyse different scores to predict respiratory failure.
