A biomechanical study of a polymer material bundled rib fracture fixator.

Background: Rib fractures are one of the most common blunt injuries, accounting for approximately 10% of all trauma patients and 60% of thoracic injuries. Multiple rib fractures, especially flail chest, can cause local chest wall softening due to the loss of rib support, leading to paradoxical breathing, severe pain, and a high likelihood of accompanying lung contusions.

Objective: This study investigates the mechanical properties of a new polymer material rib internal fixator to provide theoretical data for its clinical use.

Incidence and influence factors of venous thromboembolism in traumatic rib fracture patient: a multicenter study.

Background: This study aimed to determine the incidence and influencing factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with traumatic rib fractures.

Methods: The retrospective study analyzed medical records of patients with traumatic rib fractures from 33 hospitals.

Results: The overall incidence of VTE in hospitalized patients with traumatic rib fractures was 8.

Comparison of the clinical effects of lamina replantation and screw fixation after laminectomy in the treatment of intraspinal tumours.

Introduction: Intraspinal tumours are common diseases in neurosurgery and spinal surgery. Due to the fact that most of them are benign tumours, surgical resection is usually effective, and it is also the main treatment for these tumours. To maintain the stability of the spine and to reduce the incidence of kyphosis, pedicle screw fixation is required after traditional laminectomy, but there are many complications.

Application of fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering in the minimally invasive rib fractures internal fixation.

Objective: To investigate the application value of the technique of fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering in the selection of minimally invasive incision for internal fixation of rib fractures.

Patients And Methods: Clinical data of 55 cases of patients who underwent internal fixation for rib fracture in our hospital from June 2019 to April 2020 were selected. The differences in the accuracy of preset incision, incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative wound drainage, and postoperative pain score between the group with fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering (n=32) and the group with traditional localization method (n=23).

Application of rib surface positioning ruler combined with volumetric CT measurement technique in endoscopic minimally invasive thoracic wall fixation surgery.

Application value of rib surface positioning ruler combined with volumetric CT measurement in selection of the incision for minimally invasive internal fixation of rib fracture was investigated. A total of 80 patients who received internal fixation of rib fractures in Tianjin Hospital Affiliated to Tianjin University (Tianjin, China) from May 2018 to April 2019 were selected. Patients were treated with the rib surface positioning ruler combined with volumetric CT measurement method (n=42) or traditional positioning method (n=38).

Current status and research progress of minimally invasive surgery for flail chest.

Chest trauma accounts for ~13.5% of all traumas, and direct death from chest trauma accounts for 20-25% of all traumatic deaths. Chest trauma is the second cause of death from trauma.
