| Abstract: | Background Biomechanical research directed at developing customized implant solutions for rib fracture fixation is essential to reduce
the complexity and to increase the reliability of rib osteosynthesis. Without a simple and reliable implant solution, surgical
stabilization of rib fractures will remain underutilized despite proven benefits for select indications. This article summarizes
the research, development, and testing of a specialized and comprehensive implant solution for rib fracture fixation. |
