Thoracic chest wall trauma is a common injury in patients admitted to hospital following injury and is associated with high mortality. British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma and Orthopaedics guidelines recommend consideration of rib fracture fixation in patients with flail chest wall injuries with respiratory compromise or uncontrollable pain. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be utilised in patients with severe respiratory dysfunction and we present the case of a patient who underwent rib fracture fixation while receiving ECMO. A 32-year-old male was admitted to our department following a 4.5m fall. He sustained significant thoracic injuries with multiple ribs fractures and a flail segment from the right fourth to ninth ribs. Treatment consisted of bilateral chest drains, ECMO support, tracheostomy and rib fracture fixation to the eighth and ninth ribs. The patient made a rapid recovery following surgery and ECMO support was ceased 2.5 days postoperatively. The case shows that a well-prepared, combined specialty surgical team can safely perform rib fixation for a patient on ECMO.
