German term
Rippenserienfraktur
German to English

Medical (general)
Skiing accident:
"Im Wesentlichen erlitt Herr X eine schwere HWS-Verletzung mit mehreren Brüchen, einen Schlüsselbeinbruch, rechts, einen Schulterblattbruch links und eine Rippenserienfraktur rechts mit Hämatopneumothorax. "
Are they talking about FLAIL CHEST here?
I do not find any supporting EN references for "serial rip fracture" or the like. "Multiple rip fracture"also does not hit the nail ( since it does not necessarily involve adjacent ribs). Flail chest sort of corresponds to this, but it involves a freely moving segment ( which I am not sure happened in my patient). The again, he did suffer a pneumothorax, so it's a distinct possibility.
Could any of the senior colleagues please comment?
Thanks a lot!

Found this on the provided link. Your own suggestion of flailed chest would be correct too, according to this link
