Summary

This study is a prospective study. Patients with traumatic rib fractures are divided into control group and surgical (OP) group, depending on whether they undergo rib fracture fixation surgeries. They complete Short Form-36 and Work Quality Index (WQI) before surgery and after surgery (before discharge, post-surgery 1 month, 3 months and 6 months). The goal of this study is to examine the life quality of patients who receive surgical treatment for rib fracture by analyzing patients' response, comorbidity, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) etc.), severity of fracture (AIS, ISS) and medical costs. The investigators hope to find the most suitable method of treatment for patients with rib fractures.
