What are ribs?

The ribs are the structure of the entire chest cavity and protect vital organs such as the lungs, heart, and liver.
There are 12 pairs of human ribs, symmetrical.

Where did the fracture occur?

Rib fractures are more common in adults. One or more rib fractures can occur, and multiple fractures of the same rib can also occur.
The first to third ribs are short and protected by the shoulder blades, clavicle and upper arm, which are generally not easy to be injured, while the floating ribs are more elastic and not easy to fracture.
Fractures often occur in 4 to 7 ribs

What is the cause of the fracture?

1. Direct violence. Fractures occur in the place where the violence is directly affected. They are often cross-sectioned or comminuted. The fracture fragments are mostly displaced inward, which can easily stab the lungs and cause pneumothorax and hemothorax.
2. Indirect violence, the thorax is squeezed from the front and back, and fractures often occur near the mid-axillary line. The end of the fracture protrudes outwards, and it is easy to pierce the skin and cause open fractures, such as a collapse or improper force during external heart massage. There are also cases of fractures of the posterior ribs due to violent blows to the front chest, or fractures of the front ribs due to blows to the back chest. Fractures are mostly oblique.
3. Mixed violence and others.

What are the types of fractures?

1. Simple fracture
2. Incomplete fractures: mostly cracks or green branch fractures
3. Complete fractures: mostly transverse, oblique or comminuted fractures
4. Multiple fractures: one bone and double fracture, multi-rib fracture
5. Open fractures: mostly caused by indirect violence or firearm injuries

What are the complications of sternal fracture?

1. Abnormal breathing
2. Pneumothorax
3. Hemothorax
