Rib fractures are very common. We consider fractures of three or fewer ribs to be stable fractures, which generally only require local external fixation using a rib belt or chest wrap to stabilize the fracture and alleviate pain. Additionally, treatments can include drugs that activate blood circulation and reduce stasis, anti-swelling and pain relief drugs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Then, the fractures can heal on their own. However, if more than three ribs are fractured, we consider it an unstable fracture, which may need to be fixed. Such cases might require surgery to reposition and stabilize the fractured bones. Rib fractures themselves are not very concerning; what is concerning are the complications, such as hemothorax or pneumothorax. If conditions like pleural effusion or pneumothorax occur, it is advised to perform closed chest drainage by inserting a drainage tube to release the accumulated blood and air to avoid severe complications. Rib fractures do not require special treatment; with effective stabilization and treatment, most can fully recover.
