Rib Fracture Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Multi Centered Randomized Controlled Trial of Operative Versus Non-operative Treatment of Acute, Unstable Chest Wall Injuries
Unstable chest injuries are common in poly trauma patients. They can lead to severe pulmonary restriction, loss of lung volume, difficulty with ventilation and can render the patient to require intubation and mechanical ventilation. Traditionally these injuries have been treated non-operatively, however in the past decade there has been numerous studies suggesting improved outcomes with surgical fixation. Surgical fixation can significantly decrease time spent in ICU as well as day on mechanical ventilation. The investigators aim is to conduct a randomized control trial of these injuries, to compare non-operative treatment with surgical fixation. The investigators' hypothesis is that surgically treated patient will have significantly improved outcomes compared to those treated non-operatively.
