Some fractures caused by coughing will heal spontaneously, but the majority of these patients will require regular treatment to recover. Cough fractures are often caused by particularly severe osteoporosis, which can lead to a pathologic fracture of the ribs or other parts of the body when coughing. Sometimes the lesion is so mild that the patient is not even aware of it. After a long period of rest, the fracture may heal on its own and become old. The healing of the fracture is not easy due to the osteoporotic pathology of the patient. These fractures may continue to fail to heal, heal abnormally, not heal, or re-fracture. After the onset of a fracture, it is best to cooperate with the doctor in the treatment of the fracture, and it is necessary to deal with the primary cause of the fracture, such as osteoporosis, in order to enable the patient to recover as soon as possible.
