Biomechanical characteristics of rib fracture fixation systems [PDF]

Clinical Biomechanics, 2022
The primary aim of this study was to determine and compare the biomechanical properties of a fractured or intact rib after implant fixation on an embalmed thorax.Five systems were fixated on the bilateral fractured or intact (randomly allocated) 6th to 10th rib of five post-mortem embalmed human specimens.

Lateral Cortical Fixation as the Optimal Strategy for Achieving Stability in Rib Fractures: A Patient-Specific Finite Element Analysis

Bioengineering
The surgical stabilization of rib fractures helps maintain chest wall stability and reduces respiratory complications. This study aimed to identify the key biomechanical parameters for evaluating the stability of rib fracture fixation using finite ...

Facilitating ventilator weaning through rib fixation combined with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in severe blunt chest injury with acute respiratory failure [PDF]

Critical Care, 2020
Background Severe blunt chest injury sometimes induces acute respiratory failure (ARF), requiring ventilator use. We aimed to evaluate the effect of performing rib fixation with the addition of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) on patients with

Chest wall injury:Classification and rib fixation [PDF]

This thesis aims to provide a further understanding of the etiology of rib fractures, their classification, their acute management, and nonunion treatment. Attention is directed to rib fractures and other chest wall injuries that occur not only following

Surgical Rib Fixation is Associated With Lower Mortality in Patients With Traumatic Rib Fractures

Journal of Surgical Research
Nonoperative management (NOM) along with supportive care has been the adopted approach for traumatic rib fractures; however, surgical approaches have emerged recently to treat this common pathology. Despite this, there are no guidelines for surgical rib fixation in patients with traumatic rib fractures.An institutional review board-approved ...

Special Issue on rib fixation [PDF]

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2010
In this issue a controversial topic is brought to your attention. Fixation of the ribs and stabilization of the ribcage are topics that have been discussed for over a century, as the article of Bemelman [1] in this issue makes clear. Although thoracic trauma is responsible for 25% of the deaths resulting from trauma [2], only limited attention has been

Long-term follow-up after rib fixation for flail chest and multiple rib fractures. [PDF]

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg, 2019
Purpose Rib fixation for flail chest has been shown to improve in-hospital outcome, but little is known about treatment for multiple rib fractures and long-term outcome is scarce.

The effectiveness of early surgical stabilization for multiple rib fractures: a multicenter randomized controlled trial

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Introduction Multiple rib fractures (≥ 3 displaced rib fractures and/or flail chest) are severe chest trauma with high morbidity and mortality. Rib fixation has become the first choice for multiple rib fracture treatment.

Dysrhythmia in traumatic RIB Fixation [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2020
Introduction The fixation of traumatic rib fractures with metallic plates has multiple benefits, especially in flail segments. These include reducing the number of ventilated and ICU days, the need for a tracheostomy, reduced incidence of pneumonia, and overall improvement in pain [1]. While the benefits have been defined, there have been a paucity of
