Background: A novel rib fracture repair plating system was developed to provide durable
fixation with a shorter length than standard systems and thus facilitate minimally invasive …

Background: Rib fractures as a result of trauma are a relatively common injury. There is an
increasing interest in the operative stabilization of these injuries. Absorbable fixation plates …

Methods This is a case series of rib fracture fixation using absorbable plates and screws
consisting of 70: 30 poly (l-lactide-co-d, l-lactide) from April 2001 through November 2002 …

Background: Operative fixation of rib fractures can reduce morbidity and mortality. Currently,
resorbable fixation devices are used in a variety of surgical procedures. Methods: A …

Background Biomechanical research directed at developing customized implant solutions
for rib fracture fixation is essential to reduce the complexity and to increase the reliability of …

A prospective single center study to assess the impact of surgical stabilization in patients with …

Background: 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 …

Background Although open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is an accepted treatment
for a proportion of acute rib fractures, The literature on its potential to treat chronic, nonunion …

Background: This study evaluated intramedullary fixation of rib fractures with Kirschner wires
and novel ribs splints. We hypothesized that rib splints can provide equivalent fixation …

Background Rib fractures are common, and can be disabling. Recently, there has been
increased interest in surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF). It is difficult to define long …
