Abstract:

Objective. To assess the use of CT with oblique axis rib stretch (OARS) and curved planar reformats (CPRs) for rib fracture detection and characterization. Methods. A total of 108 forensically diagnosed patients with rib fractures were evaluated retrospectively. OARS and CPRs were independently used during the diagnosis in two groups. In each group, the final diagnosis was made after a junior radiologist’s initial diagnosis was reviewed by a senior radiologist. The images were evaluated for the presence and characterization of rib fractures. Results. A total of 2,592 ribs were analyzed, and 32

Abstract:

Rib fractures are common injuries caused by chest trauma, which may cause serious consequences. It is essential to diagnose rib fractures accurately. Low-dose thoracic computed tomography (CT) is commonly used for rib fracture diagnosis, and convolutional neural network- (CNN-) based methods have assisted doctors in rib fracture diagnosis in recent years. However, due to the lack of rib fracture data and the irregular, various shape of rib fractures, it is difficult for CNN-based methods to extract rib fracture features. As a result, they cannot achieve satisfying results in terms of accuracy

Rib fracture is the most common thoracic clinical trauma.

We performed a retrospective study (2008–2015) of blunt trauma patients admitted to our urban, Level I trauma center with one or more rib fractures. Medical records were reviewed in detail. Rib fracture deaths were those from any respiratory sequelae or hemorrhage from rib fractures. There were 4413 blunt trauma patients who sustained one or more rib fractures and 295 (6.8%)

During 8560 person-years of followup (median, 13.9 years), 56 subjects experienced 67 rib fracture episodes.

Risk factors evaluation included breed, age, body weight, diagnosis, presence of a flail chest, bandage use, puncture wound presence, rib fracture number, location of the fracture along the thoracic wall, hospital stay length, body weight, other fractures, pleural effusion,

Abstract:

Increasing age and number of rib fractures are thought to portend a worse outcome with blunt chest trauma, although this is not clearly substantiated in the literature. We hypothesized that these parameters have a significant and synergistic effect, worsening patient outcome. Using the National Trauma Data Bank, we evaluated patients from 2002 to 2006. Patients with a rib fracture International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision code were included; those with sternal fractures were excluded.

Background: According to previous studies, a prolonged hospital stay, along with the patient’s clinical features, can lead to the onset of disability. Objectives: This study aimed to identify predictive factors of moderate-to-severe disability following hospital discharge in rib fracture patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study with hospitalized adult patients with rib fractures who received conservative treatment. Patients’ clinical profiles and characteristics were collected from their clinical histories and healthcare professional records. Results: Overall, patients exhibited a

Abstract:

The potential cause of stress fracture of the rib in elite rowers was examined by a retrospective review of 14 fractures in 10 patients. Fractures occurred on the antero- to posterolateral aspects of ribs 5 through 9 and were most often associated with long-distance training and heavy load per stroke. A review of the literature yields striking similarities between these stress fractures and fractures caused by cough. It is suggested that actions of the serratus anterior and external oblique muscles on the rib cause stress fracture because of the repetitive bending forces in both rowing and cou

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Uncontrolled pain in patients with rib fracture leads to atelectasis and impaired cough which can progress to pneumonia and respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation. Of the various pain modalities, regional anesthesia (epidural and paravertebral) is better than systemic and oral analgesics. The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a new modality in the armamentarium for the management of pain in multiple rib fractures, which is safer to perform and better viewed under ultrasound guided. We report a case where ESPB helped provide pain relief to a rib fracture patient.

The two most common sites of first rib fracture were at the subclavian sulcus and in the neck of the first rib, posteriorly. Five distinct mechanisms for rib fracture were identified and included: (i) posteriorly directed trauma to the upper thorax or shoulder girdle; (ii) a direct blow to the sternum and anterior chest wall; (iii) a blow fracturing the clavicle; (iv) a strong sudden contraction of the scalenus anticus muscle: and (v) radiographic findings of a first rib fracture without history of trauma.

Abstract:

A fatigue fracture, also known as stress fracture or overuse fracture, is caused by the summation of micro-injuries resulting from a chronic state of bone overload. It affects 1.4 %- 4.4 % of professional athletes. The most common site of fatigue fractures are the lower limbs. This is related to the heavy load caused by body weight and performing dynamic activities like jumping, running. Typical fractures are fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone, fibula and tibia, and less common fractures of the femur. Fractures involving the bones of the upper limbs and thorax are less commonly reported in

Background Most triage guidelines for blunt chest wall trauma focus on advanced age and multiple fractured ribs to indicate a high-risk patient population that should be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). Overly sensitive ICU admission criteria, however, may result in overutilization of resources. We revised our rib fracture triage guideline to de-emphasize age and number of rib fractures, hypothesizing that we could lower ICU admission rates without compromising outcomes.

Rib fractures are a common reason for hospital admission and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This article discusses the management of simple rib fractures and provides practical guidance for junior doctors involved in the care of these patients. Careful assessment to identify patients at high risk of complications is essential and calculation of a rib fracture score can aid management decisions. Pain from rib fractures can be severe and requires multimodal analgesia started promptly and proactively on hospital admission. This may include the use of regional anaesthetic

Computed tomography (CT) images play a vital role in diagnosing rib fractures and determining the severity of chest trauma. However, quickly and accurately identifying rib fractures in a large number of CT images is an arduous task for radiologists. We propose a U-net-based detection method designed to extract rib fracture features at the pixel level to find rib fractures rapidly and precisely. Two modules are applied to the segmentation network—a combined attention module (CAM) and a hybrid dense dilated convolution module (HDDC).
