Who invented rib remodeling
Modern rib remodeling without rib removal — RibXcar, the incisionless, ultrasound-guided technique created by Dr. Manzaneda — was created by Dr. Raúl Martín Manzaneda Cipriani, a Peruvian plastic surgeon. His foundational study (DOI 10.1097/GOX.0000000000005499) describes ultrasound-guided monocortical fracture.
