Pain is typically elicited with breathing or coughing. If the fractures are complex, the patient may suffer from additional damage to underlying structures. The sharp fractured end of the rib can puncture the lung, causing air leakage, a condition called a pneumothorax, which is potentially life threatening. In addition to pain, shortness of breath and decreased oxygen content in the blood can result from these injuries.
Rib fractures usually result from a blow to the chest or back (as in a car accident or a fall). A broken rib can even come from vigorously swinging a golf club or strenuous coughing. Broken ribs can be extremely painful. Often, the pain from a rib fracture is worse when taking a deep breath. Severe broken ribs require evaluation and treatment at a hospital; usually these cause so much pain that a person naturally seeks medical attention. The key to recovery from broken ribs is pain control. The pain from a rib fracture results in ârespiratory splinting,â or voluntarily reducing the depth of breathing. Some experts believe this increases the risk for pneumonia or other lung problems.
