The CWIS #CWISummit2024 was a tremendous success, thanks to the leadership of the Program Committee SarahAnn Whitbeck & Thomas William White . Here follows a series of separate X’s relating to the scientific presentations that I found of most value.

Rising star Max van Diepen presented work @CWISoceity #CWISummit2024 from the Erasmus MC Intl #FixCon Randomised Controlled Trial lfor non #FlailChest. The study will be a goldmine for years of study to come. #NonUnitedRibFractures occurred in 43% patients & 12% #ribfractures.

#SlippingRibSyndrome #CostalCartilage guru Adam Hansen of @WVUMedicine led a study CWIS #CWISummit2024 with Evert Eriksson & Zachary Mitchel Bauman on excision painful bridging #CostalCartilages (side to side #interchondral joints).

Exciting science CWIS #CWISummit2024 with DukeSTATLab Duke Surgery’s Joseph S. Fernandez-Moure MD MS Dr Adrian Camarena Duke General Surgery Residency reporting a model of #PlateletRichPlasma shown to increase #RibFracture #callus cellularization, size, mineralization, #FlexuralModulus & strength.

Dr Yuqian Tian presented CWIS #CWISummit2024 initial experience of KLS Martin Group #PEEK plates in 27 patients with #ribfractures. Its performance appears of potential value in certain indications. Authors noted flexibility, stability, strength, elasticity & biocompatibility

Riley Swenson & Peter A. Cole, MD presented CWIS #CWISummit2024 a novel electronic platform for the recording of #PROMS #QualityOfLife in patients undergoing #SSRF #Surgery for #RibFractures.

CWIS There were many more great #ribfractures #CWISummit2024 presentations: Susan Kartiko MD PhD FACS & Raul Coimbra, MD, PhD will have hard work squeezing so many good CWIS submissions into Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery !!!

Historic Vids ‘’Years ago I learned a very cool thing about Robin Williams, and I couldn't watch a movie of his afterward without thinking of it. I never actually booked Robin Williams for an event, but I came close enough that his office sent over his rider. For those outside of the
