The article gives an overview of the long-term use of osteosynthesis of ribs by wires and plates for the surgical stabilization of the chest wall during injury. It has been established that the use of this method has the features of a complex approach; the main term of application is delayed (89.1% of cases). It is possible to achieve good direct results in 91.9%; the level of postoperative complications is 6.8%. Stabilization of rib fractures is an absolutely necessary procedure for rendering assistance to victims of fractures of the ribs and sternum. The choice of the method of surgical stabilization depends on the patient’s condition, the experience of the clinic and/or surgeon, the source of funding.References
