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 trial compares different ways to fix unstable chest wall injuries (like broken ribs that move out of place) within 7 days of the injury. The goal is to see how many fractures need to be repaired for the best recovery.
This trial tests a procedure called cryoablation, which freezes the nerves between the ribs to relieve pain from broken ribs. It may help you breathe deeper and feel less pain if you have multiple rib fractures and severe pain.
This trial tests a chest stabilizer device to see if it helps people with broken ribs breathe better and have fewer complications. If you have at least three broken ribs from a blunt injury (like a car crash or fall) and significant pain, you may be able to join.
This trial tests using a mixed reality headset to locate broken ribs during surgery, compared to the standard ultrasound method. It aims to see which technique helps surgeons place screws more accurately.
