Question

Do You Always Need Surgery for a Fractured Right Rib?

Answer

Fractures resulting from trauma can be treated through surgical methods, including fixation, which can lead to healing. Regular hospital check-ups and maintaining a regular lifestyle with scheduled rest hours are recommended. The occurrence of fractures in children can severely affect the patient’s quality of life. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should ensure adequate rest and enhance nutrition to avoid or reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
