Rib fractures (RF) are noted in 4 to 12 per cent of trauma admissions. To define RF risks at a Level 1 trauma center, investigators conducted a 10-year (1995–2004) retrospective analysis of all trauma patients. Blunt chest trauma was seen in 13 per cent (1,475/11,533) of patients and RF in 808 patients (55% blunt chest trauma, 7% blunt trauma). RF were

Background Other than trauma, rib fracture can occur spontaneously due to a severe cough or sneeze. In this study, patients with spontaneous rib fractures were analyzed according to age, sex, underlying pathology, treatment, and complications. Methods

We sought to ascertain the extent to which advanced age influences the morbidity and mortality after rib fractures (fxs), to define the relationship between number of rib fractures and morbidity and mortality, and to evaluate the influence of analgesic technique on outcome.A retrospective cohort study involving all 277 patients > or = 65 years old with

The ribs are an uncommon site of stress fracture. Typical locations are the first rib anterolaterally, the fourth through ninth ribs laterally and posterolaterally, and the posteromedial upper ribs. Muscular forces are predominantly responsible for these fractures.

Rib fractures are the most common serious injury of the chest. They occur most commonly in the middle and lower ribs with blunt trauma, and also with direct force to a small area of the chest wall and violent muscle contractions. Diagnosis is generally not difficult. The athlete should have a chest x-ray to confirm the diagnosis. Differential diagnosis

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1976
Fifteen cases of isolated fracture of the first rib are submitted. The mechanism of the fracture is discussed. It proved compatible with the descriptions in the literature, caused either by direct trauma to the shoulder, a sudden violent contraction of juxtacostal muscles; or else it was a chance finding, without any history of trauma and as such ...

Summary The main features are described of 28 cases who were considered to have sustained fifty-seven rib fractures due to cough of non-tuberculous origin. Some assessment of the frequency of this condition to be expected in thoracic work is attempted, and some of the difficulties in diagnosis are emphasised.

Abstract A series of 386 rib fractures have been presented which comprise those cases admitted to the University Hospital over a five and one-half-year period. These were studied as to cause, symptoms and signs, and location of fractures. When complication accompanied the fracture the mortality varied from 23 per cent to 71 per cent, while the ...
