Causes of Rib Pain
Often the cause of a fractured, broken, popped or cracked rib can happen with any known injury or trauma, but might have happened secondary to some bout of hard coughing, or movements that involve a repetitive stress to that region from the body, such as golfing or rowing. In other situations a person who has cancer or an infection could experience what is known as a pathological fracture as a result of disease process affecting the bone. Older individuals or osteoporotic persons are also vulnerable or at higher risk of getting what is called a fragility fracture, again because of diseased bone structure.
An individual can also notice a cracked rib or popped rib from the high velocity impact, or a "crush injury." This is most common in injuries related to auto accidents and impact sports such as ice hockey, Aussie Rules football, gridiron and rugby.
