Short-term follow-up of single-port thoracoscopic rib fracture reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of multiple rib fractures

The use of a memory alloy reverse rib embrasure device for intrathoracic rib fracture fixation via single-port thoracoscopic surgery is safe and reliable. This method demonstrates a high success rate of internal fixation, excellent clinical fracture healing, and advantages such as minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and the simultaneous treatment of other intrathoracic conditions. It significantly reduces postoperative pain and enhances the quality of life.
