We report the case of a 71-year-old male who initially presented with urosepsis and was found to have a rib fracture of his right 6th rib with a flail segment and an associated abscess. Given the concern for infection, surgical rib fixation with titanium plating was not pursued during the washout of his abscess and instead, he successfully underwent rib fracture stabilization with bilateral suture transfixation. He was continued on a prolonged course of antibiotics for Klebsiella pneumonia osteomyelitis and was discharged uneventfully with optimal pain control and adequate respiratory effort.
我们报告了一例71岁男性病例,该患者最初表现为尿脓毒症,被发现右侧第6肋骨骨折,伴有连枷胸段及相关脓肿。鉴于对感染的担忧,在其脓肿清创期间未进行钛板肋骨内固定手术,而是成功地通过双侧缝扎固定实现了肋骨骨折稳定。他因克雷伯菌性肺炎骨髓炎继续接受了长时间的抗生素治疗,最终顺利出院,疼痛得到了最佳控制,呼吸功能良好。
