Abstract

•The current fixation systems differ in design, mode of action, and biomechanical properties.•A new fracture at the most anterior drill hole or implant's portion is the most common failure mode.•The stiffness of a fixated intact rib, as compared to a non-fixated rib, ranges from −14% to +70%.•The stiffness of a fixated fractured rib, as compared to a non-fixated rib, ranges from −88% to +17%.
