L1® Rib
Rib fractures are one of the most common injuries following blunt trauma, occurring in a big number of all trauma patients. Traditional treatment of rib fractures includes supportive measures such as incentive spirometers, oxygen and ventilator support, and pain management via medications. In patients who receive non-operative care, the contribution of rib fractures to long-term pain and disability is greater than traditionally expected.
Surgical stabilization of rib fractures with titanium plates and screws assists in immobilizing the fracture, allowing for proper healing while maintaining normal respiratory function.
We designed the L1® Rib system featuring CB3 technology specifically been for the shape, size and complex geometry of fractured ribs. This design concept, combined with an optimized plate selection results in a system that helps mitigate risk, increase operative efficiency and provide excellent fixation for rib fractures.
