Abstract：Objective To compare the curative effect of internal fixation and conservative therapy on treating multiple rib fractures of the ribs.Methods A total of 54 patients with multiple rib fractures from November 2012 to August 2017 admitted into our hospital were selected as research objects.They were evenly divided into control group(conservative therapy)and observation group (internal fixation)by a random number table,27 cases in each group.The degree of pain and postoperative recovery of the indicators before and after treatment were compared in the two groups.Results The total effectiveness rate in the observation group was 100.00%,significantly higher than that in the control group accounting for 85.19%(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in visual analogue scale(VAS)score before treatment and first day after therapy in the two groups(P＞0.05).On days 3 and 7 after treatment,the scores of VAS in the observation group were significantly lower,compared with that in the control group(P＜0.05).In the observation group,the time of being forced to stay in bed,pleural canal indwelling time,time of using analgesics,and hospital stay were all shorter compared with those in the control group.The thoracic cavity drainage in the observation group was significantly less compared with that in the control group,with a statistical difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with traditional conservative therapy,application of internal fixation in the treatment of multiple fractures of the ribs can obtain more reliable and definite effects by effectively relieving patient′s suffering and shortening the recovery of fractures,which plays a critical role in promoting the early recovery of patients.
