Improved Fixation Stability of a Dedicated Rib Fixation System in Flail Chest: A Retrospective Study [PDF]

Medicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: Flail chest typically results from major trauma to the thoracic cage and is accompanied by multiple rib fractures. It has been well documented that surgical fixation of rib fractures can decrease both morbidity and mortality ...

The Surgical Timing and Complications of Rib Fixation for Rib Fractures in Geriatric Patients [PDF]

Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2022
Rib fractures (RF) are a common injury that cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in geriatric patients. RF fixation could shorten hospital stay and improve survival. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical impact and proper surgical timing of RF fixation in geriatric patients.

Rib fixation: Who, What, When? [PDF]

Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open, 2017
Rib fractures are among the most common traumatic injury found in ∼20% of all patients who suffer thoracic trauma. The majority of these are a result of a blunt mechanism and are often associated with other traumatic injuries.

Rib fixation in patients with severe rib fractures and pulmonary contusions: Is it safe? [PDF]

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2022
BACKGROUND Pulmonary contusion has been considered a contraindication to surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRFs). This study aimed to evaluate the association between pulmonary contusion severity and outcomes after SSRF. We hypothesized that outcomes would be worse in patients who undergo SSRF compared with nonoperative

Placement of KANI® plate inside the chest wall for rib fixation: Prevention for organ injuries caused by crossed rib edges and plate claws [PDF]

Respirology Case Reports, 2022
The claw‐type titanium plate has been successfully applied to manage a flail chest. However, rare and life‐threatening organ injury occurs due to an insufficient claw bend. We report an ingenuity of surgical fixation using KANI® plates (USCI Japan, Tokyo,

Rib Fixation for Multiple Rib Fractures: Healthcare Professionals Perceived Barriers and Facilitators to Clinical Implementation [PDF]

World Journal of Surgery, 2023
AbstractBackgroundSurgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is associated with improved respiratory symptoms and shorter intensive care admission in patients with flail chest. For multiple rib fractures, the benefit of SSRF remains a topic of debate. This study investigated barriers and facilitators of healthcare professionals to SSRF as treatment

Effectiveness of rib fixation compared to pain medication alone on pain control in patients with uncomplicated rib fractures: study protocol of a pragmatic multicenter randomized controlled trial—the PAROS study (Pain After Rib OSteosynthesis) [PDF]

Trials, 2022
Background Persistent pain and disability following rib fractures result in a large psycho-socio-economic impact for health-care system. Benefits of rib osteosynthesis are well documented in patients with flail chest that necessitates invasive ...
