Finding The Right Rib Patient w/ Dr. Mathieu Hylands

Welcome to FractureLine: the official weekly news feed from the Chest Wall Injury Society, where we will listen to all the bottom-line CWIS updates, shout-outs, fun facts, and weekly banter!

This week, FractureLine met with Dr. Mathieu Hylands (Université de Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada)! Dr. Hylands describes himself as a "newly minted" Trauma/Surgical Critical Care physician who encountered many questions as he was learning about rib fixation. This curiosity and investigation have led to the paper recently published in the Journal of Trauma. There is an abundance of questions asked and lots to think about with all the brainpower and critical thinking that fills this episode!
