Popis: Abstract GRAND FIX mesh-type plates and pins (Gunze, Kyoto, Japan) are thin, bioabsorbable fixation devices made of poly-L-lactide (PLLA) composite. These devices are new, and how best to use them in clinical practice remains to be determined. Thus, we describe our approach to rib fixation after thoracotomy in an aortic surgery using GRAND FIX mesh-type plates and pins. The advantage of our approach is that it is easy to perform, but careful attention should be paid to fix the ribs appropriately.
