A nondisplaced rib fracture typically does not require casting because the ribs are surrounded by muscles and have a natural ability to heal without immobilization. Casting can restrict breathing and lung expansion, potentially leading to complications like pneumonia. Instead, treatment usually focuses on pain management and encouraging deep breathing exercises to maintain lung function. Additionally, rib fractures generally heal well with conservative care.

Is it a cracked rib if a deep cough causes sharp pain in lower left back where bruise was inflicted by a fall?
A rib fracture is a crack or break in one of the bones of the rib cage. A break in the thick tissue (cartilage) that connects the ribs to the breastbone may also be called a fractured rib, even if the bone itself is not broken. The most common cause of a fractured rib is a direct blow to the chest, often from a car accident or a fall. Coughing hard can also fracture a rib. This is more likely to happen if you have a disease that has made your bones weak, such as osteoporosis or cancer. It is important to see a doctor after a rib injury. A blow that is hard enough to fracture a rib could also injure your lungs, spleen, blood vessels, or other parts of your body.
