If there is a single rib fracture or 2-3 ribs fracture without obvious displacement, conservative treatment can be chosen, with local external application of Jinhuang ointment, which activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis, and at the same time using rib fixation tape for fixation, and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicines that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis and connect the bones and tendons, such as Bone Injury Restoration Pill and Xianggui Bone-setting Bulletin. In case of multiple rib fractures combined with pneumothorax, or pleural effusion or hemothorax with a large amount of fluid, hospitalization is needed to perform closed chest drainage to eliminate the accumulation of gas, or the accumulation of blood to expand the lungs. If there is no obvious paradoxical respiration in multiple rib fractures, then the rib fracture can be treated conservatively. If multiple rib fractures present with paradoxical breathing, they need to be treated with incision and reduction and internal fixation. If the fracture irritates the intercostal nerves and causes neurological symptoms, the fracture will also require incisional reduction and internal fixation to relieve the nerve irritation.
