Herniation of the lung is a recognized, though rare, complication of thoracotomy and penetrating chest injury. Closed chest injury is usually associated with rib fractures, laceration of the lung, and rupture of the diaphragm, bronchus, and aorta. It is unusual for the intercostal muscles to be ruptured in a closed chest injury. In this case, herniation of the lung may result.
肺疝是开胸手术和穿透性胸部损伤的一种已被认识到的并发症，尽管较为罕见。闭合性胸部损伤通常伴有肋骨骨折、肺裂伤以及膈肌、支气管和主动脉破裂。在闭合性胸部损伤中，肋间肌破裂并不常见。在这种情况下，可能会导致肺疝。
