Rib fractures are a relatively common type of fracture, mainly caused by direct or indirect violent injuries. The severity of a rib fracture depends on the specific condition. For example, a simple rib fracture usually achieves good results with conservative treatment. It can be treated by using a chest bandage for protection, resting, and gradually recuperating.

If there are multiple rib fractures accompanied by thoracic deformity, abnormal breathing, and organ damage, this situation is relatively serious. Such fractures generally require surgical treatment. After the fracture, it is important to take good care of the patient, enhance nutrition in the diet, and start coughing up phlegm as soon as possible to prevent complications like lung infections. These measures help promote the recovery from the fracture.
