Abstract
Slipping rib syndrome has remained a lesser-known entity despite its presence in the medical literature for over 100 years. If left undiagnosed, it can be associated with significant morbidity. Operative repair for the syndrome remains the definitive treatment. Traditional repair involved rib resection which can be technically challenging and have painful recovery. Minimal invasive techniques have been described recently which circumvent these issues. Here, we present our experience with our minimally invasive realignment technique for slipping rib syndrome. Our data suggested early hospital discharge, minimal perioperative complication, and near complete resolution of symptoms. We advocate for further research to enhance timely recognition and management for this entity and additionally recommend minimally invasive operative approach for definitive treatment.
