Comparison of Mixed Reality and Ultrasound Localization Techniques for Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to compare two localization methods used before surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF): mixed reality (MR) and ultrasound-guided. Main Research Question Before SSRF, does MR help surgeons mark rib fracture locations more accurately (in centimeters) and faster than ultrasound-guided? Participants After the study ends, all participants will keep follow-up at the thoracic surgery clinic. The team will record wound healing and pain scores for use in the observational study.
