Rib fracture does not require hospitalization usually go home and recuperate for 2~3 months, depending on the individual’s physical fitness, nutritional status, age and so on. As fracture healing is a gradual process, and correct functional exercises can promote the growth and healing of the broken ends, the recovery of body functions, and the prevention of pressure ulcers, so patients need to actively carry out functional exercises under the guidance of medical personnel. Diet should be high in protein, calcium and iron, and patients should drink more water. Daily sun exposure should be increased to promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus to facilitate fracture repair. If the swelling and pain at the fracture site worsens, or if the limb feels cold or numb, or if the chest strap loosens during the period of rest and recuperation at home, you should go to the hospital for review and ask the doctor to do the appropriate treatment.
