  • Title: Rupture of the diaphragm due to blunt trauma.
    Author: Luiting MG, Den Otter G.
    Journal: Neth J Surg; 1982 Mar; 34(1):13-7. PubMed ID: 7078780.
    Abstract:
    From 1968 to 1980 we have treated 21 patients with a rupture of the diaphragm due to blunt trauma. The diagnosis was generally made in the acute phase. Right-sided rupture in this series accounted for 24% of cases. This figure differs significantly from the 10% incidence mentioned in the literature. In our opinion right-sided rupture, especially in patients with multiple injuries, is often overlooked.
