dc.description.abstractDuring the period of January, 2003 to December 2004 a descriptive cross-sectional study was done to evaluate the variations in clinical pictures of chest injury, rural and urban distribution, weapons used commonly and finally the result of existing treatment facilities in a general surgical unit of a tertiary level hospital. Total number of patient was 68. All patients of chest injury with or without extra-thoracic other injuries admitted in this period was included non-randomly. Diagnosis was based on history, clinical examination and relevant investigation like radiography and ultrasonography. Penetrating injury predominates over blunt injury in this study. Associated extra thoracic injury was present in a good number of cases. Most of the weapons were made locally and were used in household purposes. Homicidal injury predominates over accidental and incidence is more in rural than in urban areas. Most of the cases were treated by general supportive measures with or without intercostal tube thoracostomy. The outcome of treatment was satisfactory. Only one patient developed empyema thoracis and two patients died.en_US
