Official Title: Treatment of Adult Traumatic Rib Fractures With Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis for Pain Control (Trauma-PC2-study)
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effectiveness of using the Iovera Smart Time 190, for ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis, in trauma patients 18-64 years old with rib fractures that are not candidates for surgical stabilization.
This will offer patients the benefits of cryoneurolysis of the intercostal nerves, thereby providing short and long term pain control while their ribs heal.
The Iovera Smart Tip 190 is FDA approved for cryoneurolysis.
