Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early surgical stabilization
This arm will include early surgical stabilization (within 72 hours of admission) in addition to the usual care received for patients with multiple rib fractures. Usual care will involve pain management.
surgical stabilization
Surgical procedure utilizing any commercially available internal rib fixation system
Usual care
This arm will be usual care only. Usual care will include pain managment.
Usual care
Usual care typically consists of breathing exercises and pain control,often including opioids
