Title: Treatment for severe burns of the chest wall with special reference to the involved ribs
Abstract: Deep burns of the chest wall may involve not only the skin but also the muscle and bone. If the ribs and sternum are severely damaged, it may not be easy to carry out adequate debridement of partially necrotic ribs and sternum. A procedure termed segmental chiselling debridement of bones is herein described. Four cases are presented in which patients with severely burned chests were successfully treated without complications by use of this procedure in this hospital.
