ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of internal rib fixation for patients with multiple rib fractures. MethodsA total of 141 patients with multiple rib fractures who were admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between January 2010 and January 2013 and whose chest trauma score (AIS-ISS) was 9-20 (16±2) were recruited in this study. Using the random number generator of SPSS, all the patients were randomly divided into an internal fixation group [69 patients including 41 males and 28 females with their age of 25-61 (37±4) years] who underwent internal rib fixation, and a control group [72 patients including 43 males and 29 females with their age of 24-63 (35±5) years] who received conservative therapy. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) patients' satisfaction degree with thoracic appearance,incidence of lung infection,pain-relieving efficacy,postoperative chest drainage duration and length of hospital stay were compared between the 2 groups. ResultsPlasma CRP levels of the internal fixation group were not statistically different from those of the control group in 1-3 days after injury (P>0.05) but were significantly lower than those of the control group in 4-12 days after injury (P<0.05). Patients' satisfaction degree with thoracic appearance (97.1% vs. 48.6%,P<0.05) and pain-relieving efficiency (91.3% vs. 68.1%,P<0.05) of the internal fixation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Incidence of lung infection of the internal fixation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(11.6% vs. 37.5%,P<0.01). Postoperative chest drainage duration [(3±2) d vs. (7±4) d,P<0.05] and length of hospital stay [(9±4) d vs. (15±7) d,P<0.05] of the internal fixation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group. ConclusionsFor patients with multiple rib fractures and stable vital signs,internal fixation surgery is helpful to shorten length of hospital stay, relieve chest pain and improve thoracic appearance. It can also reduce lung inflammation and increase surgical safety so as to improve treatment outcomes of multiple rib fractures.
目的探讨可吸收肋骨钉与记忆合金接骨板内固定两种方法治疗多发性肋骨骨折的效果。 方法回顾性分析2009年1月至2014年1月在上海市第六人民医院胸外科行手术内固定的胸部外伤致多根多处肋骨骨折患者321例的临床资料，其中可吸收肋骨钉组70例，其中男62例、女8例，年龄（48.54±9.74）岁；记忆合金接骨板组251例，其中男187例、女64例，年龄（51.44±10.22）岁。分析两组患者疗效差异。 结果两组患者术前疼痛评分（7.74±0.89 vs.7.66±0.92）、术后疼痛评分（3.80±0.79 vs.3.82±0.85），术后胸腔引流时间[（6.00±2.84）d vs.（5.68±2.98）d]差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。记忆合金接骨板组住院时间[（20.06±7.39）d vs.（17.77±7.68）d]，及手术时间（101.29±30.67）min vs.（71.95±29.50）min]均短于可吸收肋骨钉组，且差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05)。术后3个月随访复查胸部X线，两组患者骨折再移位差异无统计学意义。 结论可吸收肋骨钉与记忆合金接骨板均是治疗多发性肋骨骨折较理想的术式，记忆合金接骨板手术操作更为简单，可吸收肋骨钉手术无需在体内留置金属内固定装置，但固定强度较接骨板略差，应根据情况选择合适的内固定方法。
目的探讨多发性肋骨骨折合理治疗方法。 方法回顾性分析山东省日照市岚山区人民医院心胸外科2010年1月至2013年10月115例胸部闭合性损伤患者的临床资料，其中男81例、女34例，年龄19～75岁，平均36.2岁。 结果CT三维重建能够准确判断肋骨骨折情况及胸廓变形情况，然后设置小切口选择性手术内固定肋骨骨折，患者经过手术治疗后全部痊愈，无死亡病例，患者术后疼痛明显减轻，胸廓形状基本恢复，呼吸功能及咳嗽功能基本恢复，住ICU时间8～72（10± 2）h，住院时间9～21（12± 1）d。随访6～18个月，随访率88.7%（102/115）；患者对手术治疗效果满意度为95.1%（97/102）。 结论多发性肋骨骨折患者利用螺旋CT三维重建立体定位后采用小切口手术内固定治疗是一种安全且符合微创原则的治疗方法。
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of surgical and traditional treatments for multiple rib fractures through systematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsCNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, OVID, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Thieme and Springer Link database for information from inception to July 2019 were screened by computer. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of surgical and conventional methods for the treatment of multiple rib fractures were screened, assessed and extracted. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.ResultsTwelve studies were included, including 1 039 patients. There were 512 patients in the operation group and 527 patients in the traditional treatment group. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of pneumonia (RR=0.41, 99%CI 0.29 to 0.58, P<0.000 01), incidence of atelectasis (RR=0.24, 99%CI 0.06 to 0.94, P=0.007), duration of mechanical ventilation (SMD=–2.64, 99%CI –4.38 to –0.91, P<0.000 1), duration of intensive care unit stay (SMD=–1.33, 99%CI –2.26 to –0.40, P=0.000 2), duration of hospital stay (SMD=–2.25, 99%CI –3.30 to –1.19, P<0.000 01)and incidence of chest wall deformity (RR=0.08, 99%CI 0.04 to 0.17, P<0.000 01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the hospital mortality (RR=0.75, 99%CI 0.23 to 2.46, P=0.53), incidence of tracheostomy (RR= 0.69, 99%CI 0.39 to 1.21, P=0.09), ventilator support rate (RR=0.65, 99%CI 0.41 to 1.05, P=0.02) and chest drainage time (SMD=–2.58, 99%CI –6.41 to 1.25, P=0.08).ConclusionSurgical treatment of multiple rib fractures can reduce pulmonary complications, shorten hospital stay, and reduce the incidence of chest wall deformity, which is conducive to rapid recovery and improves quality of life.
