Patient's question:
A friend of mine recently encountered this situation and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was a bit in pain and couldn't sleep at night, which greatly affected his condition. Is it necessary to have surgery for a right ribs fracture?Doctor's answer:
Fractures caused by external trauma can be treated through surgical methods. Fixation therapy is curable. Regular hospital check-ups and maintaining a regular lifestyle with timely rest are important. The occurrence of pediatric fractures severely impacts the patient's life. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay attention to daily care. Rest and nutritional support should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the chance of recurrence.
