Open reduction and internal fixation has been shown to provide benefits for patients with displaced rib fractures and flail chest. Nevertheless, for patients who are unwilling or unsuitable for surgery, the therapeutic options are limited. We developed a novel plastic vacuum device for rib fractures external stabilization. This study aims to compare the therapeutic efficacy of this device against a traditional chest strap in polytrauma patients with multiple rib fractures.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A retrospective investigation was conducted on polytrauma patients with multiple rib fractures admitted to our trauma center between March 2020 and March 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups: vacuum external fixation and chest strap. Comparative analysis was conducted on baseline parameters, injury characteristics, and clinical outcomes between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this study, 54 patients were included, with 28 receiving chest strap and 26 undergoing vacuum external fixation. Results showed that, at 3\u00a0days and 7\u00a0days postintervention, the vacuum external fixation group had significantly lower visual analog scale scores during deep breathing and coughing (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u2009.05). Vacuum external fixation also reduced pleural drainage duration and volume, as well as lowered the risk of pneumonia and other complications (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u2009.05). Furthermore, the vacuum external fixation group demonstrated notable improvements in vital capacity, tidal volume, blood-gas test results, and a shorter hospital length of stay.<\/jats:p>\n
