Two dogs and one cat with flail chest injuries were treated by a new technique of external thoracic wall stabilization using a single circumcostal suture for each affected rib and a splint device. Application of the splint device was quick and required minimal manipulation of the patient. Stabilization of the flail chest resulted in improved respiration in each animal. The splint device was left in place in two of the animals as the sole means of rib fixation. No evidence of infection or other adverse effects were noted with this technique.
两只患有连枷胸损伤的狗和一只患有连枷胸损伤的猫接受了一种新的胸壁外固定技术治疗，即对每根受影响的肋骨使用单根肋间缝线和一个夹板装置。夹板装置的应用迅速，对患者的操作要求极低。连枷胸的固定使每只动物的呼吸得到改善。在两只动物中，夹板装置作为肋骨固定的唯一手段被保留在位。未发现该技术有感染或其他不良反应的迹象。
