Prospective Study of Video-assisted Rib Planting in Chest Wall Stabilization

Prospective Study of Video-assisted Rib Planting in Chest Wall Stabilization

The purpose of this study is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of video-assisted rib planting and traditional internal fixation of rib fractures in chest wall stabilization.
