Surgical rib fixation – Technical aspects

Injury, 2015
Surgical rib fixation (SRF) for severe rib fracture injuries is increasingly becoming an accepted treatment modality. There is now adequate evidence in randomised controlled trials that rib fixation in flail chest patients reduces ventilator times, intensive care stay and costs of treatment in ventilator dependent patients [1-3].

Surgical rib fixation in traumatic rib fractures: is it warranted?

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2022
Purpose of review Traumatic chest wall injuries and rib fractures remain a prevalent injury. Despite many advances, these injuries result in high morbidity and mortality. Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is increasing in utilization with expanding indications.

Surgical Approaches for Rib Fracture Fixation

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2013
Operative management of thoracic injuries is an increasingly accepted technique, with multiple reports of improved patient outcomes as compared with nonoperative treatment. Despite the evolving support of rib fracture fixation, descriptions of surgical approaches and tactics remain limited.

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. This paper will review the data from our institution to determine if these benefits were seen in our trauma ...

Design Solutions from Material Selection for Rib Fixators

Materials Science Forum, 2021
The problems for fixing rib fractures are usually challenged with different rib fixators whose design strongly depends of the material selected for construction. Main issues refer to rib surgery implantation and tissue acceptance for a duration longer than the osteosynthesis.

Indications for Rib Fixation

2018
There are no clear, absolute, and universally accepted indications or contraindications for operative rib fixation. Furthermore, although the majority of experts believe patients benefit most from early operative fixation, there is no consensus agreement regarding optimal timing of surgery. The most common and well-accepted indication for operative rib

Isolated Thoracic Injury Patients With Rib Fractures Undergoing Rib Fixation Have Improved Mortality

Journal of Surgical Research, 2021
Despite a lack of consensus recommendations for surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF), SSRF has increased over the past decade. Outcomes of patients with isolated thoracic injuries undergoing SSRF are unknown. We hypothesized adult trauma patients with isolated thoracic injuries and rib fractures undergoing SSRF would have a decreased risk of ...

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 ...

Surgical rib fixation

2017
Traumatic rib fracture injuries are being seen with increasing frequency in the hospital setting. They are often associated with other severe injuries and frequently require admission. The most severe form of rib fracture injury, flail chest, has a mortality of up to 33%.

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,
