This case demonstrates an adrenal haemorrhage. Which sided adrenal gland is most commonly implicated in traumatic adrenal haemorrhage?

Which side does a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture usually occur on? Why?
Left sided diaphragmatic rupture is much more common than the right - this is likely because the liver provides a buffering effect on the right side.
Conclusion

- Bilateral multilevel rib fractures
- T8 and T10, L1 and L4 single column vertebral fractures
