Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation versus conservative treatment for rib fractures. Methods: The study period was from June 2022 to June 2023, during which 70 patients with rib fractures were grouped by randomized numerical table method, with 30 cases in the observation group and 40 cases in the control group. The observation group implemented open reduction internal fixation treatment and the control group adopted conservative treatment. After treatment, the results of each index in the two groups were compared. Results: Treatment-related indexes, lung function indexes, and treatment effects between the two groups were compared (P < 0.05). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and complication rate of the observation group after treatment were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In the comparison of the efficacy of open reduction internal fixation and conservative treatment for rib fractures, the former exerts a more significant effect and can improve the lung function of the patients, which is worthy of research and promotion.
