One-year Results of Minimally Invasive Sutured Fixation of the Slipped Ribs in the Pediatric Population

Abstract

Costal cartilage resection with or without rib resection is the gold standard surgery for slipping rib syndrome. Minimally invasive restoration of normal anatomy via nonabsorbable sutures has been described in the adult population with encouraging results. We sought to assess the efficacy of minimally invasive sutured fixation of the hypermobile rib in the pediatric population.
