An assessment of outcomes with intramedullary fixation of fractured ribs

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2016
Surgical management of fractured ribs with internal fixation is an increasingly accepted therapy. Concurrently, specific rib fixation prostheses are being developed which should improve results and minimise hardware and rib/splint construct failures. The Synthes titanium intramedullary splint lends itself to difficult to access areas such as posterior ...

Fixation of a human rib by an intramedullary telescoping splint anchored by bone cement

, 2016
A novel concept for rib fixation is presented that involves the use of a bioresorbable polymer intramedullary telescoping splint. Bone cement is used to anchor each end of the splint inside the medullary canal on each side of the fracture site.

Experimental study on the application of a novel degradable calcium-phosphate coated magnesium alloy encircling bone plate in the internal fixation of rib fractures

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine
Severe rib fractures often require surgical plate fixation, but non-biodegradable implants typically necessitate a second surgery for removal. Although AZ31 magnesium alloy is a biodegradable medical material, its excessively rapid in vivo degradation ...

Latissimus muscle sparing approach to subscapular rib fracture plating

Trauma Case Reports, 2019
Surgical stabilization of fractured ribs has been shown to improve trauma related outcomes, however the procedure itself can be a source of morbidity.

Plate of ribs: single institution’s matched comparison of patients managed operatively and non-operatively for rib fractures

Trauma Surgery & Acute Care Open, 2020
Background Rib fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in polytraumatized patients. There is considerable variability in the management (operative vs. non-operative) and timing of operative intervention.

Feasibility of laryngeal mask anesthesia combined with nerve block in adult patients undergoing internal fixation of rib fractures: a prospective observational study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2020
Background The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is occasionally used in internal fixation of rib fractures. We evaluated the feasibility of general anesthesia with an LMA associated to a thoracic paravertebral block (TPB) and/or an erector spinae plane block (

Ultra minimally invasive surgical stabilization of Rib fractures (uMI-SSRF): reduction and fixation techniques to minimize the surgical wound

World Journal of Emergency Surgery
Background Rib fractures are common in trauma patients, often leading to complications such as pneumonia and prolonged hospitalization. Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures (SSRF) has become increasingly prevalent in treating severe cases.

Rib construct for severe spinal deformity in young children: a 3-part investigation of biomechanical, animal, and clinical case data

North American Spine Society Journal
: Background: Early-onset spinal deformity (EOSD), occurring before age 10, requires surgical techniques that accommodate spinal growth. Traditional intra-spinal methods like growing rods have high complication rates. The rib construct is an alternative
