[Experience with Surgical Stabilization for Traumatic Rib Fractures and Sternal Fractures].
The treatment of traumatic rib fractures and sternal fractures have focused on pain and respiratory management, and conservative treatment has been recommended. Recently, however, a number of case series from abroad have been reported and demonstrated the usefulness of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) and sternal fractures (SSSF). We have experienced seven cases of SSRF and two cases of SSSF at International University Health and Welfare Narita Hospital and Atami Hospital. Based on our experienced cases, we have outlined the preoperative evaluation, indication for surgery, timing of surgery, surgical techniques, and postoperative course. Of these nine cases, the clinical course of two cases of SSRF and one case of SSSF were detailly presented. The surgical indications and techniques for traumatic rib fractures and sternal fractures vary from institution to institution, and there is no single optimal treatment. We hope that the accumulation of cases, and discussions will help to build a higher quality evidence for surgical treatment of thoracic trauma in Japan.
