Of 49 patients undergoing operation for benign spontaneous pneumothorax, 28 (57%) were found to have a sharp first or second rib. In a series of 100 patients undergoing thoracotomy for other conditions, only eight (8%) were found to have a sharp rib. The association between sharp ribs, apical scars and bullae, and spontaneous pneumothorax is discussed.
在49例因良性自发性气胸接受手术的患者中，有28例（57%）被发现第一或第二肋骨尖锐。在一系列100例因其他病症接受开胸手术的患者中，仅有8例（8%）被发现肋骨尖锐。本文讨论了尖锐肋骨、肺尖瘢痕和肺大疱与自发性气胸之间的关联。
