Surgical Fixation of Multiple Rib Fractures

Rib fixation stabilises chest wall injuries, improving breathing and reducing pain after severe trauma.

MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 7,800 – 11,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,200 – 3,300

Most plans cover:
• Trauma-related chest wall reconstruction
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia

Document respiratory compromise or flail chest.

Stabilising ribs improves recovery. Insurance should support trauma reconstruction.
