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, the FractureLine Team dives headfirst into the discussion of Length Of Stay (LOS) as a metric for success in rib fixation. Opinions are mixed about the details but **(SPOILER ALERT)** the overarching idea is that LOS stinks and muddies the water in measuring true outcomes in rib trauma. What should take its' place? Is there a limited role for LOS in some capacity?! We get our guest's opinion as well, a familiar voice and Angry Viking, Dr. Everet Eriksson!
Settle in; this is a long one, but sure to keep you enraptured!
