Two broken ribs can usually work after three months. Don’t work or bear weight within three months after the fracture, if the fracture is not serious and the patient’s physical condition is good, take X-ray examination after three months to make sure that the ribs have reached the standard of healing, then you can gradually return to the normal life and start to work appropriately. At the beginning of work, patients should avoid heavy loading and excessive labor, and should rest appropriately, combine work and rest, and gradually increase the amount of labor. If the fracture is more serious, the patient is older, or suffers from osteoporosis, the recovery time may be longer, greater than three months to reach the standard of healing. If the fracture end is not healed before working, it may cause the fracture end to be broken or dislocated again. After a rib fracture, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for regular follow-ups, and the doctor will determine whether the fracture has healed and whether you can work based on the results of the examination.
