Thoracic skeletal injury is a common outcome of motor vehicle accidents. Skeletal reconstruction is guided by anatomic and physiologic variables dictated by the injury complex. Here we describe a report of a patient who sustained complex trauma to the thorax leading to complete thoracic dissociation. Clinical and operative decision-making is discussed to inform the reader of a proposed ordered protocol and considerations for operative intervention and reconstruction.
