Multiple rib fractures are relatively common in orthopedics and are usually caused by external violence or direct compression during a fall. Without the occurrence of hemopneumothorax or organ damage, rib fractures can recover and go to work normally in about 2-3 months. This is because fractures require three stages of healing: the first stage is the hematoma mechanization evolution period, which takes 2-4 weeks; the second stage is the primary bone scab formation period, which takes 4-8 weeks; and the third stage is the bone scab encapsulation period, which takes 8-12 weeks. Rib fractures follow this same principle, so the recovery period is about 2-3 months. The treatment method is to fix the rib bandage or chest elastic bandage with appropriate elasticity, take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs orally as well as bone-setting drugs, apply anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ointment and blood-stasis dispersing ointment externally, and pay attention to light diet combined with reasonable exercise for early recovery.
