An assessment of outcomes with intramedullary fixation of fractured ribs
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2016 Surgical management of fractured ribs with internal fixation is an increasingly accepted therapy. Concurrently, specific rib fixation prostheses are being developed which should improve results and minimise hardware and rib/splint construct failures. The Synthes titanium intramedullary splint lends itself to difficult to access areas such as posterior ...
