After a head-on automobile collision, a 21-year-old man was admitted with respiratory distress and subcutaneous emphysema. Bronchoscopy revealed a disruption of the trachea and a complete transection of the intermediate bronchus. A right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed, and both lesions were reconstructed primarily using absorbable materials.
