UNIVERSITY CLINIC FOR CARDIAC AND THORACIC SURGERY

Surgery for Malformations, Tumors or Injuries of the Thorax

The ribs and the sternum protect the internal organs of the rib cage like a bone armor. For tumors of the chest wall, this must therefore be replaced. Bony malformations on the chest wall can lead to chronic pain, which is often difficult to diagnose and therefore often discovered late. Accidents and falls can cause serious injuries to the thoracic skeleton, which cause serious problems immediately after the accident or even some time later. Our department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of bony thorax injuries.

Pain in the ribs can also indicate the Cyriax syndrome.
