The practice of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) for severe chest wall injury has
exponentially increased over the last decade due to improved outcomes as compared to …

Background Over the last 10 years, research has highlighted emerging potential risk factors
for poor outcomes following blunt chest wall trauma. The aim was to update a previous …

Background Patients with multiple rib fractures without a clinical flail chest are increasingly
being treated with rib fixation; however, high-quality evidence to support this development is …

Background Thoracic trauma is a major cause of death in trauma patients and road traffic
accident (RTA)-related thoracic injuries have different characteristics than those with non …

Rib fractures remain the most frequent thoracic injury in motor vehicle crashes.
Computational human body models (HBMs) can be used to simulate these injuries and …

Background Multiple rib fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality,
especially in elderly patients. There is growing interest in surgical stabilization in this …

Rib fractures are a common and potentially severe injury that can be challenging and labor-
intensive to detect in CT scans. While there have been efforts to address this field, the lack of …

Purpose This study aimed to examine population-based trends in the incidence rate, health
care consumption, and work absence with associated costs in patients with rib fractures …

Purpose Thoracic trauma accounts for 25–50% of posttraumatic mortality. Data on
epidemiology of thoracic trauma in Scandinavia and risk factors for mortality are scarce. This …

Background Chest radiography is the standard investigation for identifying rib fractures. The
application of artificial intelligence (AI) for detecting rib fractures on chest radiographs is …
