It is not recommended to walk freely after a rib fracture, as there may be bone fragments after a rib fracture, so you should not move freely to avoid secondary injuries. The rib cage protects the internal organs, and a fracture may cause compression or puncture of the internal organs, so it is best to avoid significant movement after a fracture and seek medical attention as soon as possible. The causes of rib fractures are: first, traumatic fractures, such as blows from external forces or others. Second, middle-aged and elderly people are also prone to rib fractures due to osteoporosis and bone softening. Local pain is the obvious symptom of rib fracture. After the fracture occurs, try to avoid displacement, wait for the doctor’s help with the help of other people, and do not walk or move freely. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest after rib fracture surgery and to take more calcium to increase bone nutrition.
