There is no data regarding the incidence and treatment of deep infection affecting the surgical implants after rib fixation. The aim of this study is to share our experience in the management of infected material after surgical rib fixation.
The medical records of operated patients from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.
Three patients out of 87 (3.44%) developed an infection. One patient was treated conservatively and two patients were operated for hardware removal.
The lack of evidence prompts for the design of surgical databases to share experience and enhance available data.

回顾性分析2012年1月至2018年12月手术患者的病历。
87例患者中有3例(3.44%)发生感染。1例患者接受保守治疗,2例患者接受手术取出内固定物。
缺乏证据促使设计手术数据库以分享经验并增加可用数据。
