Posterior Spinal Fusion with Rib Resection Allows for Improved Deformity Correction as well as Patient Satisfaction
Rib resectioned patients had approximately double the amount of rib hump correction at 60.5%, compared to those who did not undergo rib resectioning at 30.4%, with no increase in the rate of complications. RR patients had improved self-reported self-image and mental health scores, with no difference in timing for return to activities.
