Surgical stabilization of rib fractures

Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is a very rapidly developing field in medicine. Rib fractures are very common and cause a lot of disability for the patients. Only in the last decade has SSRF been popularized. With the recognition of the amazing healing power of this procedure, many patients are being helped. However, there is still resistance in some communities to adopt this revolutionizing approach. Therefore, it is more important for us to promote the usefulness of this procedure so that as many patients as possible can benefit.
