abstract="BACKGROUND: The traditional teaching states that upper rib fractures are associated with severe trauma and a high risk of neurovascular insult. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present the case of an 18-year-old male who sustained an isolated, uncomplicated fracture of the first rib by falling on his elbow during a soccer match. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This case illustrates that an uncomplicated upper rib fracture can occur with minor trauma. The term &quot;rebound&quot; fracture is proposed for this type of rib injury.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
