Rib fractures are the most common thoracic injury after minor blunt trauma. Although rib fractures can produce significant morbidity, the diagnosis of injuries to underlying organs is arguably more important as these complications are likely to have the most significant clinical impact. Isolated rib fractures have a relatively low morbidity and mortality and treatment is generally conservative. Where Are the Ribs Located. Ribs are located in the chest. They attach to the sternum or breastbone at the front and the thoracic spine in the back. The ribs can be felt and seen both at the front and back of the upper body. They are part of the axial skeleton.
