Whether a rib fracture can recover on its own depends on the type of rib fracture the patient has. Rib fracture first needs to be improved with lung CT and rib 3D reconstruction to accurately determine the displacement of rib fracture, the specific number, and the presence of combined hemopneumothorax. For single rib fractures, because the periosteum of the rib is thicker and the local trauma is milder, it usually does not affect breathing, so conservative treatment is feasible, choosing chest brace for chest immobilization and braking, and patients with significant pain can be given appropriate painkillers, such as oral ibuprofen extended-release tablets for pain relief, and left to heal naturally. Multiple multiple rib fractures can cause paradoxical breathing, affecting the respiratory system and lung tissue and causing serious complications such as pneumothorax, which requires active treatment and is usually difficult to heal on its own. If a rib fracture is combined with a hemopneumothorax, chest drainage and, if necessary, surgery will be required and cannot be expected to heal on its own. Patients should take rest in their life, try to avoid smoking and drinking, which affect the healing of fracture, and eat foods with blood circulation and blood stasis effect such as yam appropriately to help recovery.
