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

Outcomes after fixation of rib fractures sustained during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A retrospective single center analysis

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023
BackgroundHistorically rib fractures have been typically treated non-operatively. Recent studies showed promising results after osteosynthesis of rib fractures in trauma patients with flail segments or multiple rib fractures.

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

Biomechanical characteristics of rib fracture fixation systems

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.

If we should remove internal fixation devices for rib fractures?

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Background Internal fixation for rib fractures has been widely carried out worldwide, and its surgical efficacy has been recognized. However, there is still controversy about whether implant materials need to be removed.

Medium to long-term outcome of thoracoscapular arthrodesis with screw fixation for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Shoulder girdle muscle weakness is the most constant feature of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and leads to scapular winging. Mechanical fixation of the scapula to the thoracic wall provides a stable fulcrum on which the deltoid ...

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
