Operative Rib Fixation at a Rural Trauma Center

The American Surgeon, 2022
Introduction Operative rib fixation is becoming more common in the management of rib fractures, with studies showing benefits of surgery in decreasing time on mechanical ventilation, ICU and total hospital length of stay, and mortality.

ANATOMICALLY CONTOURED PLATES FOR FIXATION OF RIB FRACTURES

Chest, 2009
: Intraoperative contouring of long bridging plates for stabilization of flail chest injuries is difficult and time consuming. This study implemented for the first time biometric parameters to derive anatomically contoured rib plates. These plates were tested on a range of cadaveric ribs to quantify plate fit and to extract a best-fit plating ...

Design and Lab Experiences for a Fixator of Rib Fractures

2020
A non-invasive bioabsorbable rib fixator is presented with its mechanical design and concepts for surgery implementation. Its feasibility and efficiency are investigated though lab testing whose results are discussed with satisfactory outcomes. The rib fixator is designed with small size for fairly easy manufacturing and surgery implantation with short-

Biomechanics of Rib Fracture Fixation

2015
The goal of fracture fixation is restoring bony alignment and stability during healing to promote a timely return to normal function. For rib fractures, however, fracture fixation can be a life-saving intervention in select cases of flail chest injury. Conversely, without rib fracture fixation, patients can experience progressive pulmonary dysfunction ...

When to pursue acute rib fracture fixation

Current Opinion in Critical Care
Purpose of review This review will explore acute rib fracture management focusing on indications and timing for acute surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF). Recent findings SSRF is a well tolerated and effective approach for a variety of rib fracture patterns and is most ...

Timing to Rib Fixation in Patients With Flail Chest

Journal of Surgical Research
Flail chest (FC) after blunt trauma is associated with significant morbidity and prolonged hospitalizations. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between timing of rib fixation (ORIF) and pulmonary morbidity and mortality in patients with FC.FC patients were identified from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program database over 3-year ...

Current concepts in rib fracture fixation

Bone & Joint 360, 2016
Rib fracture fixation by orthopaedic and cardiothoracic surgeons has become increasingly popular for the treatment of chest injuries in trauma. The literature, though mainly limited to Level II and III evidence, shows favourable results for operative fixation. In this paper we review the literature and discuss the indications for rib fracture fixation,
