    Rib fractures are prevalent in trauma patients, accounting for 10% of trauma admissions and leading to significant morbidity and mortality.

  • 2

    Management of rib fractures includes surgical intervention and nonoperative treatment, with SSRF showing potential benefits for respiratory mechanics and pain reduction.

  • 3

    The CWIS classification system categorizes rib fractures by type, displacement, and position, but suffers from interobserver variability among clinicians.

  • 4

    Automated detection and classification of rib fractures using CT imaging can address the high rate of missed fractures and improve classification efficiency.

  • 5

    The study aims to develop a robust automated approach for rib fracture detection and classification, enhancing treatment decision-making and patient outcomes.
