A Single-Center Experience of Osteosynthesis Material Infection after Rib Fixation for Blunt Trauma.
There is no data regarding the incidence and treatment of deep infection affecting the surgical implants after rib fixation. The aim of this study is to share our experience in the management of infected material after surgical rib fixation. ⋯ The lack of evidence prompts for the design of surgical databases to share experience and enhance available data.
