Our CTVS Team at SPS Hospitals, Ludhiana, successfully performed VATS-guided rib malunion correction with titanium plate fixation. A 27-year-old man presented with persistent chest pain one year after a roadside accident that resulted in two rib fractures with malunion. He was having regular excruciating pain for which he had to take heavy pain killers regularly. Following detailed evaluation and CT chest imaging, he underwent minimally invasive surgery with resection of the malunited rib segments and stabilization using titanium plates. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the third postoperative day. This milestone highlights SPS Hospitals' expertise in advanced minimally invasive thoracic surgery, offering less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and excellent patient outcomes across a wide range of thoracic procedures.
