Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of MatrixRIB fixation system in the treatment of severe rib fractures.Methods A total of 131 patients with severe rib fractures undergoing open reduction and internal fixation using MatrixRIB fixation system in our department were enrolled.Data including demographics,injury characteristics,surgical procedure details and postoperative recovery were collected.The operation experiences were summarized,and complications,postoperative and follow-up data were analyzed.Results Totally 637 (637/891)rib fractures were fixed.No internal fixation disorder was found,but 1 case had displacement after internal fixation.The majority of patients were extubated immediately after surgery.The mean time of pressure-support ventilation after surgery was 47.6(7 143)hours.The chest instability and pain were improved in all patients after surgery.At 3 to 6 months after treatment,70 patients(70/102)returned to work,and 87 patients(87/89)recovered previous normal life.Conclusions MatrixRIB fixation system is easy to operate in the treatment of severe rib fractures and has good clinical outcomes with few complications.Patients' pain is significantly relieved with satisfactory rehabilitation.
