Activity-limiting Injury in Adults: United States, 2020-2021
Abstract:
Injuries can have physical (1), psychological (2,3), and economic (4) consequences, including problems with wound repair and persistent pain. Additionally, the consequences of injury may interfere with normal activities and return to work (1). This report describes the percentage of adults who had an injury that limited their usual activities in the past 3 months (an activitylimiting injury) by selected sociodemographic characteristics from the 2020 and 2021 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
