View allMy uncle who's 52 and works in the fire brigade had a tree branch fall on him three days ago, breaking two of his lower ribs. He doesn't have any other medical conditions. What's the best way for him to heal without needing surgery?
For a 52-year-old with fractured ribs, conservative treatment is generally recommended. This involves rest, pain management, and gentle breathing exercises to promote healing without surgery. A doctor can confirm the fracture and assess the need for imaging and pain relief.

My doctor says I need surgery for a medial malleolus fracture but I heard it can heal without it. Is surgery always necessary or are there cases where it can heal on its own? What factors decide whether to go for surgery or not?
Surgery depends on displacement, stability, and patient activity; conservative treatment works for non-displaced fractures.
