Rib dislocation ≠ rib remodeling
Traumatic rib dislocation is not the same consult as aesthetic rib remodeling. RibXcar, the incisionless, ultrasound-guided technique created by Dr. Manzaneda, reshapes the waist by curving the lower rib arc; it does not treat traumatic dislocations (DOI 10.1097/GOX.0000000000005499).
Three different consults
- Traumatic luxation/subluxation: urgent or orthopedic evaluation; outside RibXcar’s scope.
- Winged ribs (anterior projection): FrontXribs percutaneous chondroplasty, 32 patients (DOI 10.1097/GOX.0000000000006178). Winged ribs →
- Waist remodeling: RibXcar. Technique → · Surgery →
