Indikationen, OP-Zeitpunkt und Technik der operativen Stabilisierung beim Thoraxtrauma

Rippenserienfrakturen und Flail-Segmente (Stückfrakturen von Rippen mit paradoxem Atemmuster) können zu mechanischer respiratorischer Insuffizienz führen. Dies kann durch chirurgische Stabilisierung von Rippenfrakturen (SSRF) verhindert werden. In diesem narrativen Review werden morphologische und physiologische Kriterien zur Indikationsstellung der SSRF, Besonderheiten einzelner Patientengruppen sowie Techniken der SSRF betrachtet.

Schlüsselwörter
