Can cracked ribs cause a lung infection?
Yes it can. Due to the pain of the 'cracked' (broken or contused) ribs, one tends to breath more shallowly and take less deep breaths. Normally deep breaths help to move the mucus that is formed in the airway up into the throat, where it is swallowed unnoticed. If the formed mucus is not cleared properly it will accumulate in the lungs (due to gravity mostly in the lower lobes). This mucus is ideal for bacteria to grow in (warm and humid) and this may lead to a pneumonia
