Fractures of the first rib are extremely rare and are more commonly associated with either multiple rib fractures or life-threatening injuries. First rib fractures are commonly caused by direct trauma, violent muscular contraction or by chronic stress. We present a case of isolated bilateral rib fracture in an elderly patient, in the absence of multiple trauma, where the mechanism of injury appears to be a whiplash injury.
第一肋骨骨折极为罕见，更常见于合并多根肋骨骨折或危及生命的损伤。第一肋骨骨折通常由直接外伤、剧烈肌肉收缩或慢性应激引起。我们报告一例老年患者孤立性双侧肋骨骨折病例，该患者无多发伤，损伤机制似乎为挥鞭样损伤。
