Refractory Infection After Internal Fixation for Rib Fractures [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2020
The infection of internal fixation devices of rib fractures is rare, but it is usually severe when it occurs. Existing literature indicates that removal of infected hardware is essential for the clearance of refractory infection. We report a rare case of a patient who accepted operation for rib fractures; however, his hardware infection was not ...

Rib soft fixation produces better analgesic effects and is associated with cytokine changes within the spinal cord in a rat rib fracture model

Molecular Pain, 2019
Traumatic rib fracture can cause severe pain and is usually associated with the depression of respiratory drive followed by severe respiratory complications. It is critical for patients with rib fracture to receive adequate analgesia.
