Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will seek to describe the effective use of cryoanalgesia as a feasible method of pain management in the rib fracture patient. With a small cohort and case series, we will describe and refine the procedure and preliminary efficacy of the FDA-approved iovera system in adult rib fracture patients. In order to ethically assess the clinical relevance of the iovera system, our objective will be accomplished by completing a case series

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Case Series
Prospective: Case Series The investigators will complete ioveraº system training (i.e., cadaveric demonstration) and work with our local surgical team to develop an effective procedure. The technique will then be refined and considered fully developed with three consecutive successful placements. Data reporting to the sponsor will occur once data for the first five successful interventions and the subsequent 14-day follow-ups are completed. Adverse event reporting to the IRB will occur in accordance with GCP standards. Due to the small sample size and short duration, patients lost to follow-up will be an indication for additional enrollment. No more than 10 total subjects will be enrolled.
