FL Talks Work/Activity Return After Rib Fracture & Finding Lost Fractures

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's episode welcomes Drs. Kieran McManus & Andrew Blythe (Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, Northern Ireland)! We get to hear from them about their new articles published in the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery: "Return to work and activity after rib-fixation for acute chest trauma: first application of a validated patient-reported outcomes assessment tool." We were also joined by SarahAnn, Dr. White, and Dr. Kryskow.  We also had a special guest and CWIS giant Dr. Joe Forrester introduce a new project that looks to reduce the number of costal margin fractures in trauma patients (Please message SarahAnn or Dr. Forrester ASAP if you are interested in getting involved!).
