چکیده انگلیسی


- A retrospective study of trauma patients with flail chest at a level I trauma center.
- Compares ORIF of rib fractures to nonoperative management.
- Hospital and intensive care unit lengths of stay were significantly longer with ORIF.
- There was no improvement in duration of mechanical ventilation with ORIF.
- This study is in contrast to previous randomized controlled studies.

BackgroundOpen reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of fractured ribs for flail chest is safe and effective but who is most likely to benefit is unknown. Our purpose is to compare ORIF with nonoperative management (NOM) in polytrauma patients.MethodsAlbany Medical Center Hospital Trauma Registry was queried for adult patients with flail chest admitted over 7 years.ResultsEighty-six patients with radiographic flail chest were identified who met inclusion criteria. The 41 ORIF and 45 NOM patients had similar demographics and injury severity. Hospital length of stay and intensive care unit length of stay were significantly longer in the ORIF group than that of the NOM group. There was a trend toward longer time on the ventilator in the ORIF group.ConclusionsIn this retrospective study, patients treated by ORIF had longer hospitalization and ventilator duration. Future studies should be designed to optimally identify patients who are most likely to benefit from ORIF.
