Rib Plating Offers Favorable Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Non-Union of Prior Rib Fractures.
Authors
Abstract
Although open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is an accepted treatment for a proportion of acute rib fractures, there is paucity of literature on its potential to treat chronic, non-union fractures. This study evaluates the outcomes and quality of life of patients who underwent ORIF for chronic, symptomatic non-union rib fractures.
