Why are floating ribs easily broken?
Floating ribs (ribs 11 and 12) are more easily broken than attached ribs because they are not connected to the sternum in the front, making them more vulnerable to lateral impacts. Their reduced protection from surrounding muscles and ligaments also makes them more susceptible to fractures from direct trauma or crushing forces. Additionally, the flexibility of floating ribs makes them less stable compared to attached ribs, increasing the risk of injury.
Do you get a cast for a broken collar bone?
Yes, a broken collarbone is typically treated with a sling or brace to immobilize the arm and shoulder. In some cases, surgery may be needed to realign the bone fragments. It is rare for a cast to be used specifically for a broken collarbone as the collarbone is a mobile bone.
How are broken ribs set?
Usually, they aren't. Most rib fractures are just left to heal on their own. Often a rib belt will be provided or sometimes the rib cage will be taped, but if it's a minor fracture, you'll be told to just take it easy and don't make it worse. On the other hand, if a rib is completely broken, with sharp edges and a possibility of puncturing a lung, it will be surgically wired to minimize further risk. Only an x-ray will determine if the break is severe enough to justify surgery.
