Application of Fracture Body Surface Localization Film Combined with CT Volume Rendering in the Minimally Invasive Rib Fractures Internal Fixation

Objective: To investigate the application value of the technique of fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering in the selection of minimally invasive incision for internal fixation of rib fractures.

Patients And Methods: Clinical data of 55 cases of patients who underwent internal fixation for rib fracture in our hospital from June 2019 to April 2020 were selected. The differences in the accuracy of preset incision, incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative wound drainage, and postoperative pain score between the group with fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering (n=32) and the group with traditional localization method (n=23).

Results: Compared with traditional localization method, fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering could improve the accuracy of surgical incision, reduce the operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative wound drainage, and postoperative pain score (p<0.05).

Conclusions: The application of fracture body surface localization film combined with CT volume rendering has obvious effects on the accurate selection of incision of rib fracture internal fixation, and it is an effective method that is worthy of promotion.
