Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

My 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.

What's the best way to treat this condition and how long does recovery usually take Is surgery the only option or can it be delayed for a while
The best way to treat a medical condition and the timeline for recovery vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. While surgery may be an option, it's often not the first or only choice, and it can sometimes be delayed. Recovery time can range from a few days to several months or even longer, depending on the procedure and individual factors.
