What happens when you break your ribs?

Answer 1

Bones are tough but they can still break for many reasons. When a bone is broken, it is called a fracture and it can break in many different ways, like a complete fracture is when it is broken in two, or an open fracture where its sticking through your skin. Anyways, it takes time to heal depending what has happened, but it will heal in time.

Answer 2

If you have a tear in a ligament it is called a sprain. Sprains come in different degrees depending on how much is torn. A mild sprain can be treated with RICE (Rest Ice Compression and Elevation).

If you heard a pop, then most likely you suffered a dislocation. That is more severe because it involves a forceful separation of a joint and more severe tearing of ligaments with possible damage to the joint capsule. I am not sure how you are keeping it tied together, but anytime there is a possibility of a dislocation or a break there is usually loss of function in the joint, or the nearest joint if it is a break.

The best thing to do if you hear a pop, since it could be a dislocation or a break, is to get it x-rayed and checked out by a doctor.
