Rib fractures as a result of trauma are a relatively common injury. There is an increasing interest in the operative stabilization of these injuries. Absorbable fixation plates are an option for improved rib fracture treatment. The aim of this study was to review our plating failures and to create a numerical model of muscle forces on fractured ribs to identify the mechanism by which these rib fixations have failed.
