Twenty-two trauma victims who had sustained flail chest as their only significant injury were evaluated to determine the final outcome. Fourteen patients (63.9 percent) were found to have long-term sequelae. The most common long-term problems after flail chest injury were persistent chest wall pain, chest wall deformity, and dyspnea on exertion. Five patients (22 percent) remained disabled in varying degrees.
