Clinical Trial Summary

The main study objective is to evaluate the long-term outcome in a prospective follow-up visit of patients who underwent hardware removal after surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) after a blunt chest trauma .


Clinical Trial Description

Potential of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) to improve clinical outcomes in patients has been demonstrated with increasing interest of surgeons in this procedure and indications for SSRF expanding. Some reports found signals for hardware removal after SSRF such as hardware failure, infections and persisting pain. There is currently lack of studies collecting systematically long-term outcomes after SSRF hardware removal. For that reason, this project presents the retrospective case series of patients with removal of osteosynthetic material after rib stabilisation treated at Department of Thoracic Surgery of the University Hospital Basel (USB). The recovery of these patients will be reviewed and a prospective evaluation of long-term outcomes will be done. The aim is to provide an insight and implications for treatment strategies of future patients. Most of the collected patient data are retrospective data. One prospective follow-up visit inclusive a health survey per patient will be performed. ;
