How does a broken rib heal?

How long does it take a broken rib to heal?

  • yeah the question basically asks it all. how long does it take for one broken rib to heal?

  • Answer:

    4 to 8 weeks, they will heal on their own as long as its not a "clean break" where the bone completely broke off. That would require surgery and screws. Do not use a bandage wrap either, that will compress breathing and increase the chance of pneumonia. If you or someone you know has a broken rib, it is pretty obvious that you/he/she needs to visit a doctor.
