[Changes in the properties of the rib fragments in the posttraumatic period from the viewpoint of tribology].
The authors regard a broken rib in intact respiration as a dynamic biotribologic system that is characterized by overcoming of adhesive-cohesive relations in the friction pair represented in this case by the fragment ends. In the course of this interaction the initial morphology of contacting fractured sites changes and new informative diagnostic signs, differently manifest and varying in extension, form. These signs may appear only in intact respiration and evidence a life-time rib fracture.
