Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients who were admitted due to trauma and had serial rib fractures were evaluated. There were 14 patients in case group and 20 in control group. Standard treatment was applied to the control group. External chest wall fixator was applied to the case group in addition to standard treatment. Pain levels of the patients, development of complications and duration of hospitalization were recorded. Pain levels of the patients were evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale and the pain level was scored between 0 and 10.
