Fracture of the 10th rib may result in injury to internal organs, intercostal neuritis, pneumothorax, pleurisy and other complications. There are organs behind the 10th rib, such as stomach, heart, lungs, etc., if the fracture is serious, it may lead to contusion or puncture injury of internal organs; if the fractured rib pierces the lung tissue or pleura, it may lead to rupture of alveolus, resulting in pneumothorax, and in serious cases, it may lead to pleural effusion and other conditions. In addition, rib fracture may also induce pleurisy or intercostal neuritis. Patients with a 10th rib fracture should avoid exercise as much as possible. Mild fracture can be immobilized by using a chest strap, and when pain occurs, ibuprofen can be used for pain relief under the guidance of the doctor, and the patient can also take calcium carbonate granules and other medications to promote the recovery of the fracture site. Patients with severe rib fractures should go to the hospital in time, and the fracture site should be reset through surgery and fixed with a steel plate at the same time. Patients with rib fractures should consult a doctor promptly if they have any discomfort.
