Welcome to FractureLine: the official weekly news feed from the Chest Wall Injury Society, where we will listen to all the bottom-line CWIS updates, shout-outs, fun facts, and weekly banter!

This week, we are joined by a BRAND NEW FractureLine Family Member, Mr. Aaron Pugh, PA-C. He has been a part of the Intermountain family for many years and comes into this association with much to offer! We are fortunate to have him.

We also are joined by Dr. Kyle Schmitt (Aventura Hospital and Medical Center, CWIS Case Review Co-Lead with Dr. Bradley Faliks)! Dr. Schmitt reviewed the 2024 Case Review highlights and offered thoughts about where we will go in the new year.

To round out the holiday season, we also took the time to discuss (in-depth) the team's favorite yearly wintery offering, Eggnog (including the best way to enjoy it).

Cozy up next to the fire and tune into your favorite rib podcast!

Finally, this week's Summit Review features Dr. Jose Diaz, Division Chief Acute Care Surgery, University of South Florida, and a giant in the rib plating sphere. We were lucky enough to sit down and talk about his thoughts on where rib fracture management started and where we will see it go.
