In this study the value of armored acrylate plates (AAP) in the sanation of flail chest in dogs has been verified, as well as its good biological tolerability as a new implant material in dogs. An original approach to surgical reposition and osteosynthesis of fractured ribs in dogs has been determined. An innovative approach to rib osteosynthesis with acrylate plates can be an adequate model for its application in human patients with unstable flail chest, which is often the result of injury or tumor excision.
