Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the incidence and characteristics of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) at various trauma centers, highlighting the CWIS initiative to identify exemplary centers for this treatment.
- - An analysis of 26,084 patient cases revealed that 24% had rib fractures, with only 2% of all patients and 8% of those with rib fractures undergoing SSRF, emphasizing variations based on age and injury severity.
- - The findings suggest that SSRF rates are higher in specific age groups, particularly those aged 50-69, indicating potential disparities in treatment across different age ranges that warrant further examination.
