Multiple Rib Fractures ICD-10-CM Codes

Recovery time for multiple rib fractures varies but typically takes six weeks to several months, depending on the severity and overall patient health.

Treatment primarily focuses on pain control, using painkillers and breathing exercises. In severe cases, surgery might be necessary.

Multiple rib fractures can lead to complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, or flail chest. These can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
