CT shows a slightly twisted rib. Is that a fracture?

CT showing slightly twisted ribs could be a fracture or it could be due to physiologic reasons.
CT shows a slight twisting of the ribs, which may be a manifestation of a fracture. A fracture is defined as an interruption in the integrity and continuity of the bone, and a slightly twisted rib may show this type of manifestation, which meets the definition of a fracture and can be defined as a fracture, and usually also shows pain, pressure, and limited movement.
However, it may not be caused by fracture, the ribs themselves show a certain curvature, such as the existence of previous trauma or long-term compression of the ribs, such as wearing an inappropriate bra for a long period of time, etc., which may cause a slight twisting of the ribs, and can not be diagnosed as a fracture, and at the same time, the patient does not suffer from pain, limited mobility and other manifestations.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in time and have a professional physician make a judgment.
