Surgical stabilization of rib fractures in anticoagulated patients: Proceed with caution?
InjurySurgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is increasingly performed, however the outcome of patients undergoing SSRF while on pre-injury antithrombotic therapy remains unknown. We compared surgical variables and outcomes of patients who were and were not on antithrombotic therapy.
