Description
Paula Duarte D'Ambrosio and co-authors reply to a comment on chest surgery methods in a 2026 letter. Their review compared two bar layouts for fixing a sunken chest through small cuts. A commenter raised points on naming, chest shape classes, and plate fixation reporting. The reply thanks the commenter and answers each point in turn.
The authors note that several cited works in the comment are the commenter's own pieces. Only one study in their pool used the shape class in a form that fit pooled analysis. That gap is why they urge technique choice tailored to each chest shape. They also agree that fixation reporting varied across studies in their review.
