Hi!!! Usually rib bone fractures are treated conservatively by applying a rib belt unless and until if the fracture is very bad and piercing the lung tissue.
Please continue rib belt for 4-5 weeks. It is best to comment after seeing the x-rays.
Please consult directly through online so that we can discuss the treatment plan and precautions.
