Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rib fracture non-union is an uncommon complication of traumatic rib fractures. Our objective was to perform a scoping review of the literature for the management of rib fracture non-union. This included analysis of the variations in surgical technique, complications experienced, and reported outcomes. METHODS We conducted a scoping review and searched databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase). We performed abstract and full-text screening, and abstracted data related to pre-operative assessment, surgical technique, complications, and reported outcome measures. RESULTS We included 29 articles of which 19 were case reports and 10 were case series. The data quality was generally heterogeneous. The studies included 229 patients and the commonest symptoms of rib fracture non-union included chest pain, clicking, dyspnea and deformities. The patients underwent surgical management of rib fracture non-union (excluding first rib fractures) using various techniques. The majority used surgical stabilization of rib fracture with or without a graft. The reported outcomes were inconsistent between studies, but showed high rates of union (>94 %), reduction in reported VAS scores, and improved return to work when included. Implant failure occurred in 10 % of the 229 total patients reported in our studies, the re-operation rate was 13 %, and the overall complication rate was 27 %. CONCLUSION Surgical management of rib fracture non-union often involving locking plates and screws with or without a graft has been shown in several case reports and series as an effective treatment with acceptable implant failure and complication rates. Surgical management is therefore a viable option for symptomatic patients. Further research is required to determine optimal management strategies that further reduce surgical complications for these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rib fractures commonly occur in trauma patients with varying presentations. Though the literature in recent years has moved toward favoring more early intervention of acute rib fractures, little has been reported on the matter of surgical fixation for symptomatic rib fracture nonunions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a review of PubMed and Cochrane databases for articles published since 2000. Inclusion criteria were studies with greater than six months of follow-up, while case studies were excluded. A thorough analysis was performed on patient outcomes, complications reported, operative techniques utilized, and fixation systems used, among other parameters reported by the articles. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-nine studies resulted from our review, and a total of nine studies met our inclusion criteria with a combined total of 182 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for symptomatic rib fracture nonunions. All studies reported a significant reduction of pain with increased satisfaction in the majority of patients. There were a total of 71 postoperative complications, the most common of which included surgical site infections, hardware failure, and hematoma. The most serious complications were insulting injury to the lung parenchyma or pleura; however, these were extremely rare based off the current literature. The use of bone grafting was common with eight of the nine studies mentioning the benefits of grafting. CONCLUSION Surgical stabilization of rib fracture nonunions appears to be an appropriate treatment alternative, and various techniques and approaches may be used with similar success. Further studies with higher level of evidence are recommended on the subject.

[PMID: 38290909 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2024.111335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rib fracture nonunion is a probable cause of chronic pain following chest trauma, although its prevalence remains unknown. The aims of this study were to determine rib fracture nonunion prevalence following nonoperative management and to determine if presence of nonunion was associated with the number of rib fractures, or the rib fracture classification of anatomical location, type, and displacement. METHODS This multicenter prospective cohort study included trauma patients with three or more fractured ribs but without a flail segment, who participated in the nonoperative management group of the FixCon trial between January 2019 and June 2022. The number and classification of rib fractures were assessed on trauma chest CT. Chest CTs conducted six months post-trauma were evaluated for the presence of nonunion. Radiological characteristics of nonunions were compared with normally healed rib fractures using the Mann-Whitney U, χ2 test, and Fisher's exact test as appropriate. A generalized linear model adjusted for multiple observations per patient when assessing the associations between nonunion and fracture characteristics. RESULTS A total of 68 patients were included with 561 post-traumatic fractures in 429 ribs. Chest CT after six months revealed nonunions in 67 (12 %) rib fractures in 29 (43 %) patients with a median of 2 (P25-P75 1-3) nonunions per patient. Nonunion was most commonly observed in ribs seven to 10 (20-23 %, p < 0.001, adjusted p = 0.006). Nonunion occurred in 14 (5 %) undisplaced, 22 (19 %) offset, and 20 (23 %) displaced rib fractures (p < 0.001). No statistically significant association between rib fracture type and nonunion was found. CONCLUSIONS Forty-three percent of patients with multiple rib fractures had radiographic nonunion six months after trauma. Fractures in ribs seven to 10 and dislocated fractures had an increased risk of rib fracture nonunion.

Abstract
Rib fractures are one of the most common injuries following blunt trauma. When associated with penetrating trauma, the projectile velocity and immense energy transfer cause significant rib fracture displacement and fragmentation. As a result, these patients are potentially exposed to an even higher risk of complications compared to those seen in more simple rib fractures. Unfortunately, there is limited research regarding technical considerations for surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) in severely displaced rib fractures with bone loss following penetrating injury. We present the case of a 21-year-old male gunshot wound victim with severely displaced and comminuted rib fractures in which we utilized an autologous bone graft bridge during SSRF to enhance fracture unionization, chest wall stability, and cosmesis. Unfortunately, the bone graft failed to incorporate into surrounding tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rib fractures are common injuries which can be associated with acute pain and chronic disability. While most rib fractures ultimately go on to achieve bony union, a subset of patients may go on to develop non-union. Management of these nonunited rib fractures can be challenging and variability in management exists. METHODS The Chest Wall Injury Society's Publication Committee convened to develop recommendations for use of surgical stabilization of nonunited rib fractures (SSNURF) to treat traumatic rib fracture nonunions. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane database were searched for pertinent studies. Using a process of iterative consensus, all committee members voted to accept or reject the recommendation. RESULTS No identified studies compared SSNURF to alternative therapy and the overall quality of the body of evidence was rated as low. Risk of bias was identified in all studies. Despite these limitations, there is lower-quality evidence suggesting that SSNURF may be beneficial for decreasing pain, reducing opiate use, and improving patient reported outcomes among patients with symptomatic rib nonunion. However, these benefits should be balanced against risk of symptomatic hardware failure and infection. CONCLUSION This guideline document summarizes the current CWIS recommendations regarding use of SSNURF for management of rib nonunion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/Care Management; Level IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rib fractures are common injuries in trauma patients that often heal without intervention. Infrequently, symptomatic rib fracture nonunions are a complication after rib fractures. There is a paucity of literature on the surgical treatment of rib fracture nonunion. The purpose of this study was to describe the efficacy of rib fracture nonunion operative fixation with particular focus on surgical technique, healing rates, and complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients aged ≥ 18 years with symptomatic rib fracture nonunions treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking plates at a single urban level 1 trauma center were retrospectively reviewed. Pertinent demographic, clinical, radiographic, and surgical data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 18 patients met inclusion criteria. The mean time from injury to undergoing ORIF for rib fracture nonunion was just under a year and the number of ribs plated was 2.95 ± 1.16 (1-5 ribs) with bone grafting used in six cases. All patients (100%) showed evidence of healing at an average of 2.65 ± 1.50 months (2-8 months). All patients reported a decrease in pain. No narcotic pain medication was used at an average of 3.88 ± 3.76 weeks (0-10 weeks) post-operatively. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were found in 4 (22.2%) patients. CONCLUSION This study concluded that operative fixation of symptomatic rib fracture nonunion demonstrated favorable outcomes with reduction in preoperative pain levels, decreased use of narcotic pain medication, minimal complications, and a high rate of fracture union. This described method provides symptomatic relief, reduction in pain, and promotes bony healing of the fracture nonunion without development of major complications. We suggest that operative fixation should be considered as the primary method of treatment of symptomatic rib nonunions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcomes of patients after rib nonunion reconstruction. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Between January 2007 and August 2019, 25 consecutive patients with 51 nonunions with disabling pain or chronic instability were treated for nonunited rib fractures. INTERVENTION Rib nonunion reconstructions performed using plate and screw fixation, recannalizing the medullary canal and augmented with autogenous iliac crest bone graft. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Patient demographics, mechanism of injury, number of rib nonunions, and postoperative radiographs were assessed. Satisfaction, patient-reported complications, return to occupation and activity, and general health measures were captured using patient questionnaires. RESULTS In 25 patients, 51 painful rib nonunions were surgically treated. The average length from injury to surgical rib reconstruction was 25.1 months (range = 3-118 months; median = 12 months). Follow-up was obtained in 18 of 25 patients (72%) with a mean of 46.1 months (range = 13-139 months). All ribs achieved radiographic union at an average of 12.3 weeks (range = 8-24 weeks) after surgery. Sixteen of 18 patients (89%) reported satisfaction with surgery and 15 patients (83%) reported mild to no pain at final follow-up. Five patients had complications that all resolved after subsequent treatment. CONCLUSIONS Successful treatment of symptomatic rib nonunion is possible using rib plates in conjunction with bone grafting and has high union rates, satisfactory results, and limited complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is increasingly used to reduce pulmonary complications and death among patients with rib fractures. However, the five Ws of hardware failure -who, what, when, where, and why- remains unclear. We aimed to synthesize available evidence on the five Ws and outline future research agenda for mitigating hardware failure. METHODS Experimental and observational studies published between 2009 and 2020 evaluating adults undergoing SSRF for traumatic rib fractures underwent evidence synthesis. We performed random effects meta-analysis of cohort/consecutive case studies. We calculated pooled prevalence of SSRF hardware failures using Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation and assessed study heterogeneity using DerSimonian-Laird estimation. We performed meta-regression with rib fracture acuity (acute or chronic) and hardware type (metal plate or not metal plate) as moderators. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies underwent qualitative synthesis and 24 studies (2404 SSRF patients) underwent quantitative synthesis. Pooled prevalence of hardware failure was 4(3-7)%. Meta-regression showed fracture acuity was a significant moderator (P = 0.002) of hardware failure but hardware type was not (P = 0.23). Approximately 60% of patients underwent hardware removal after hardware failure. Mechanical failures were the most common type of hardware failure, followed by hardware infections, pain/discomfort, and non-union. Timing of hardware failure after surgery was highly variable, but 87% of failures occurred after initial hospitalization. Mechanical failures was attributed to technical shortcomings (i.e. short plate length) or excessive force on the thoracic cavity. CONCLUSIONS SSRF hardware failure is an uncommon complication. Not all hardware failures are consequential, but insufficient individual patient data precluded characterizing where and why hardware failures occur. Minimizing SSRF hardware failure requires concerted research agenda to expand on the paucity of existing evidence.

Abstract
The gold standard for rib fracture nonunion management remains a matter of debate. Operative treatment of rib fracture nonunion has become increasingly popular. A 69-year-old man was operatively treated with intercostal neurectomy of the left eighth rib to resolve chronic thoracic pain following a rib fracture nonunion. After the intervention, the patient developed a flank bulge which was most likely due to the intercostal neurectomy, causing partial denervation of the abdominal musculature. Although the pain at the nonunion site decreased after the operative intervention, the patient still experienced severe pain during daily activities and reported poor quality of life due to the flank bulge. Physiotherapy and an abdominal belt did not improve this flank bulge. When considering operative neurectomy of the intercostal nerves of ribs 7-12 to resolve chronic pain due to rib fracture nonunion, the treating surgeon should be aware of this debilitating complication.

Abstract
Rib nonunion is a rare occurrence that requires surgical management and has a high rate of failure that may necessitate repeated intervention. We present the case of successful rescue redo repair of previously failed plating of chronic nonunion for multilevel posterior rib fractures, reinforced by wire cerclage of the osteosynthesis plate. Our objective is to illustrate the feasibility of repeated interventions, and the technique to resolve this challenging problem.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of invasive treatment of rib fracture has increased significantly over the last decade however the evidence of improved patient outcomes to support this is lacking. A systematic review was performed to identify patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in the assessment of outcomes following chest wall injury. The quality of evidence for the psychometric properties of the identified PROMs was graded using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology. METHODS Rib fracture studies measuring patient reported outcomes were identified using PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, AMED and PsycINFO. Methodological quality of measurement properties was evaluated with the COnsensus-based Standards for selection of health status Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist. RESULTS A total of 64 studies were identified including 19 different PROM instruments. Domains included in the reported PROMs included pain, breathlessness, general health quality of life, physical function and physiological health. No rib fracture specific PROM was identified. The most frequently reported instrument was the SF-36 reporting overall quality of life (HRQoL) although there was very low quality evidence for its content validity. There was low quality evidence to support good content validity for the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale, Brief Pain Index (BPI) and McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). No PROM had undergone validation in a rib fracture population. The overall quality of the PROM development studies was poor. While we were unable to identify a clear "gold standard", based on the limited current evidence, we recommend that the EQ-5D-5L is used in combination with the MRC and BPI or MPQ for future rib fracture studies. CONCLUSION The lack of validated outcome measures for rib fracture patients is a significant limitation of the current literature. Further studies are needed to provide validated outcome measures to ensure accuracy of the reported results and conclusions. As interventions for rib fractures have become more common in both research and clinical practice this has become an urgent priority.
