We summarized the experience of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) at a core hospital in eastern Hiroshima, which is a primary center for tertiary emergency medical care, especially for high-energy trauma cases including chest injuries. The study focuses on patients who underwent SSRF from January 2016 to September 2023, analyzing patient characteristics, injury mechanisms, associated injuries, fracture locations, time from injury to surgery, fixation devices used, and postoperative outcomes. Our hospital primarily treats elderly patients, and falls are the most common cause of injury, followed by traffic accidents. The criteria for SSRF in our hospital were clinical manifestations of flail chest, need for lung repair, persistent pain, or improvement of thoracic deformity. We had a high rate of fixation of fractures of the 4th-10th ribs, which have a significant impact on respiratory mechanics;although KANI plates were primarily used, the introduction of MatrixRIB plates offers advantages in certain scenarios. The study also identified challenges with the KANI plate, including cases of plate dislodgement, particularly in patients with multiple fractures and severe thoracic deformities. The combination of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and SSRF allows for more effective rib fixation and reduces surgical wound size and muscle damage.
