A broken rib occurs when there is a break or crack in one of the bones of the ribcage. When you are evaluated by a doctor for your injury, one of the tests that they may run is an X-ray to see the bones on the inside where the injury is. They are considered one of the most effective ways to diagnose a rib fracture, while physical examinations are the next most effective. When your doctor runs an X-ray, they can see which ribs are broken, how broken they are, and in which locations they are broken. This will help them to diagnose the fracture and treat you accordingly.
