Incomplete fracture of ribs must pay attention to the following points: 1. Avoid localized injuries, such as collision or thoracic compression injuries, etc., because continued exposure to external violence may lead to localized fracture becoming complete fracture. The fracture may even be dislocated, requiring surgery to reset the fracture, or the fracture end may injure the surrounding blood vessels and lungs, resulting in pneumothorax or hemothorax. Second, depending on the situation, if the pain is more serious, the fracture must be fixed with chest strap or rib fixation tape. If the local pain is not very obvious, you can apply ointment externally and do not need to use fixation tape to fix it. Third, pay attention to avoid coughing, so patients with chronic respiratory diseases, it is recommended to give nebulized inhalation of phlegm or the use of drugs to stop coughing, so as to prevent coughing affects the thorax contraction, but also affect the fracture end and lead to pain.
