Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of video-assisted rib planting and traditional internal fixation of rib fractures in chest wall stabilization. The investigators design a new surgical method of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for rib fractures, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the new surgical techniques with a prospective study.

Conditions

• Rib Fractures
• Rib Fracture Multiple

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	video-assisted rib planting	Give the patient intercostal nerve block and laryngeal mask anesthesia, after that, put the patient in lateral position. Make a 4-6cm posterolateral incision along the lower edge of the scapula，sever latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior and reach the rib surface. Lift the scapula with the abdominal retractor (or xiphoid retractor), Free adhesion tissue inside the scapula and put in the thoracoscopic lens. Free the tissue of the upper and lower edges of the ribs carefully, reset ribs and insert rib plate, which is fixed by 90° electric drill and locking screw.
