Dr. Peter Dillon, chief of surgery at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and professor of surgery at Penn State College of Medicine, spurred the team to develop a minimally-invasive way to stabilize broken ribs.
Our ribs form a strong, flexible basket that encloses the lungs and heart. They move with every breath we take, and their delicate structure makes them susceptible to fractures, especially in the back. A new procedure invented at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center stabilizes a broken rib, speeds healing, and reduces the patient's pain.
