This study aims to assess the pattern of traumatic flail chest injury secondary to blunt chest trauma, in patients admitted to Menoufia University Hospital. Demographic criteriaof the patients,type and cause of trauma, data about duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, hospital stay, time interval to returnto work (complete recovery), occurrence of chest wall deformity, new injury severity score (NISS) and mortality rate, were all collected and studied. Conclusion: Flail chest injury represented 8.2% of all blunt chest trauma admitted to Menoufia University Hospital during the period of thisstudy.
