Rib fracture repair with RibFix Titan system
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a titanium rib fixation system to see how well it stabilizes broken ribs or rib cuts (osteotomies) during healing. It may be an option if you need surgery to fix rib fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares a rib-fix surgery system (RibFix Blu) to non-surgical treatment for certain broken ribs. It looks at which approach helps people heal better and recover with less ongoing trouble after the injury.
This trial tests whether adding cryotherapy (freezing treatment to the injury area) to standard surgery for broken, displaced ribs can improve recovery. It’s for adults with multiple broken ribs who are getting a surgical stabilization procedure soon after injury.
This study compares different numbers of fractures to fix during surgery for unstable chest wall injuries (like a broken rib cage). It aims to find the best treatment to help patients recover better.
This study tests a new chest strap (stabilizer) that may help people with broken ribs breathe better and recover with fewer complications. You will be asked to wear the strap and do breathing exercises to see if it improves your lung function and reduces pain.
This study compares two methods to help surgeons locate broken ribs during surgery: mixed reality (3D images projected onto the patient) and ultrasound (using sound waves). The goal is to see which method makes surgery more accurate and possibly easier, which could mean better outcomes and faster recovery.
This study looks at ways to help people with broken ribs feel better and improve their quality of life. If you have a rib fracture, you may be able to join.
