What is a Sternum & Rib Locking System?
A Sternum & Rib Locking System is a crucial orthopedic device. It’s used after chest wall trauma, fractures, or complex surgeries. It has locking plates that fit the sternum and ribs’ shapes and screws with a special locking mechanism. These parts work together to firmly fix and stabilize the bones. This reduces the chance of displacement, promotes healing, and helps avoid issues like deformities and breathing problems. It also speeds up patient recovery and return to normal life.
These systems typically consist of:
How Does a Sternum & Rib Locking System Work?
Sternum & Rib Locking Systems are essential in thoracic orthopedics. Sternum plates fit the sternum’s shape and are placed on fractured areas to aid alignment and healing. Rib plates are for damaged ribs, maintaining rib cage integrity and protecting organs. Locking mechanisms like screws or wires attach plates firmly. This system stabilizes bones after chest wall trauma or surgery, reducing movement, pain, and promoting recovery.
Sternum & Rib Locking Systems operate through multiple steps. Plate Placement is key, with sternum and rib plates precisely located over fractured or displaced bones for correct alignment and anatomical restoration. Secure Fastening follows, using screws or wires inserted meticulously to attach plates firmly. This offers unwavering stability, halting further displacement and aiding healing. The combined plates and locking mechanisms give Structural Support, stabilizing the chest wall, safeguarding vital organs, and cutting pain. By reducing movement, the system promotes Healing Facilitation and proper callus formation, speeding up recovery. Eventually, Functional Restoration occurs as the healed chest wall resumes normal function, enabling smooth respiration and enhancing patient well-being. These systems showcase modern medical innovation and are vital for surgeons treating chest wall injuries and helping patients recover.
