Explanation:

Rib fracture can lead to severe pain, breathing difficulties, and damage to internal organs, including lung perforation, when the fracture has an uneven edge. However, when the rib fracture has no separate bones or uneven edge, it is simpler to resolve without major health risks. The most common symptoms of a rib fracture include: pain in the top of the chest  that worsens with breathing; breathing difficulty; chest bruises; deformity of the costal arches and crepation sounds during chest palpation;.

To treat rib fractures, your doctor will usually recommend pain-relieving pain medications, as well as rest and physical therapy. Surgery is indicated only in some cases, where there is no improvement with the initial treatment, or when the fracture causes serious injury, including perforation of the lungs or other chest viscera.
