Schematic diagram of the framework fixation of the second rib. The two ends of the locking plate were fixed to the sternum and ribs outside the fracture line of the two ends to establish the “frame” structure, and each middle fracture section was lifted, reduced, and fixed to the “frame” in sequence. “▼“indicated fracture lines at both ends, “↑“indicated 4 fracture segments in the middle
