Abstract: BACKGROUND 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… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ta.0000000000001729
Abstract: BACKGROUND The optimal timing of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) remains debated. We hypothesized that (1) demographic, radiologic, and clinical variables are associated with time to surgery and (2) shorter time to SSRF improves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ta.0000000000003788
Abstract: Rib plating is increasingly commonly used for severe chest wall injuries, yet little is known about the development of operative competency. Here the use of cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis is employed to elucidate the learning… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ta.0000000000003809
Abstract: Our work demonstrates that in patients without severe head trauma that have flail chest, early surgical stabilization of rib fractures before post injury day 3 is associated with significantly better outcomes as well as reduced… read more here.
