The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Two of the symptoms of flail chest are chest pain and shortness of breath.
- It occurs when multiple adjacent ribs are broken in multiple places, separating a segment, so a part of the chest wall moves independently.
- The number of ribs that must be broken varies by differing definitions: some sources say at least two adjacent ribs are broken in at least two places, some require three or more ribs in two or more places.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Flail chest article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 52: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
