Overview
Causes
Pulmonary laceration is a common result of penetrating trauma but may also be caused by blunt trauma; broken ribs may perforate the lung, or the tissue may be torn due to shearing forces[1] that result from different rates of acceleration or deceleration of different tissues of the lung.[2] Pulmonary laceration may result from blunt and penetrating forces that occur in the same injury and may be associated with pulmonary contusion.[3][4] As with contusions, pulmonary lacerations usually occur near solid structures in the chest such as ribs.[5] Pulmonary laceration is suspected when rib fractures are present.[6]
