NCT ID NCT04710602
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 patients who had a new, less invasive surgery to fix an unstable chest wall after a serious injury. The surgery uses smaller cuts and spares the muscles. The goal was to see how well their lungs worked and how they recovered, compared to patients who had an older, more invasive surgery. The study is complete and helps doctors understand if the newer technique is better.
