Thanks to @JTraumAcuteSurg for open access of this #EASTjc! And great work by @gkasot and colleagues!

@kheirbek @EAST_TRAUMA #eastjc Sure was! Thanks everyone for participating & the excellent feedback!

.@gkasot it was a great discussion this #EASTjc. Looking forward to seeing more comments & more data on rib plating & more @EAST_TRAUMA PMGs

@gkasot YES! we should agree on most important outcome & a well defined comparative treatment! #EASTjc

@kheirbek @EAST_TRAUMA @MarkSeamonMD @jonessurgery @TraumaMPH #eastjc 2-3 abstracts on topic @ last few EAST/AAST mtgs. Hope trend continues

@kheirbek #eastjc More PRCTs. Ideally from the US too.

Should we expect more submissions to @EAST_TRAUMA on the topic this year? @MarkSeamonMD @gkasot @jonessurgery @TraumaMPH #EASTjc

PMG is a great review & recs for plating, but what's next to clarify the recs w/ stronger evidence? Multicenter study? @gkasot #EASTjc
