摘要
Reconstructions of the chest wall using commercially available artificial metallic rib systems are gaining in popularity. The MatrixRib system involves use of plates and screws to bridge any defect and provide support for the chest wall following resection. So far, there has been no publication focusing on describing the use of this new technology in a step-by-step approach. We describe our technique and discuss potential pitfalls and difficulties of using the system.
