Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures

Current Surgery Reports, 2017
Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (aka rib plating) is underutilized, partly due to a perceived lack of evidence of benefit and unfamiliarity with the operation. The goal of this review is to identify and summarize the evidence surrounding surgical stabilization of chest wall injury in flail and non-flail injury patterns and highlight the ...

Optimizing surgical stabilization of rib fractures using intraoperative ultrasound localization

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2021
BACKGROUND Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) significantly improve the outcomes of patients with rib fractures. Ultrasound is a specific modality for localizing rib fractures. We hypothesized that use of perioperative ultrasound localization of fracture sites optimizes surgical approach and clinical outcomes.

Timing of Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures

Current Surgery Reports, 2019
Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) has a proven benefit in patients with flail chest. However, the timing of intervention is currently unclear. We aim to evaluate and summarize current evidence related to the time interval for the surgical stabilization of rib fractures.

Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures: A Single Institution Experience

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2018
Use of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) has increased. Despite compelling small studies, many centers still struggle with determining criteria for intervention. We investigated the benefit of SSRF in our patients compared with nonoperative (NonOp) National Trauma Databank (NTDB) controls, specifically in the older population.We performed ...

Surgical stabilization of rib fractures—Does race matter?

Surgery
Advances in medical technology have widened the gaps and exposed disparities in medical treatments. The prevalence of surgical stabilization for rib fractures is rising despite its controversial indications for this treatment modality. In situations of equipoise, surgeons may find themselves choosing patients for surgery, revealing potential implicit ...

Validation of current procedural terminology codes for surgical stabilization of rib fractures

Injury, 2020
Current procedural terminology (CPT) codes for surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) are based solely on the number of ribs fixed, tricotomized at 1-3, 4-6, and ≥ 7. Our objective was to validate CPT codes against operative time at our institution, as well as further stratify complexity by rib fracture location and surgical approach.

Surgical stabilization of posterior rib fractures involving the costotransverse joint

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery
Surgical stabilization of posterior rib fractures involving the costotransverse joint is debated, with most patients managed non-operatively. However, surgery may be indicated for respiratory failure due to altered mechanics or severe pain leading to functional limitations.

Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures in a Patient with Empyema

JBJS Case Connector, 2019
Case: A patient sustained flail chest and diaphragmatic rupture with perforation of the stomach. She underwent gastrorrhaphy with chest lavage. She developed empyema and underwent decortication. Intraoperative cultures grew bacteria and yeast. She failed extubation because of pain despite maximal medical therapy.

A prospective, controlled clinical evaluation of surgical stabilization of severe rib fractures

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2016
Previous studies of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) have been limited by small sample sizes, retrospective methodology, and inclusion of only patients with flail chest. We performed a prospective, controlled evaluation of SSRF as compared with optimal medical management for severe rib fracture patterns among critically ill trauma ...
