To the diagnosis of rib fractures
To clarify the diagnosis of rib fracture, we use the following technique: we apply the left palm to the chest wall from the healthy side, and the right palm to the injury site and force the patient to bend and unbend the leg from the diseased side. With a fracture, as a rule, a bone crunch is felt with the right hand. This technique sometimes makes it possible to make or exclude a diagnosis of a fracture more accurately than an x-ray.
