INTRODUCTION: The duration of pain after rib fracture is the question physicians are most frequently asked. The duration of pain following a traumatic rib fracture without any comorbidity is not widely published. AIM: We report our experience to investigate the duration of pain following isolated traumatic rib fractures without any traumatic comorbidity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: months of trauma. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed for the statistical analysis. RESULTS: month. The pain score of displaced fractures was significantly higher than that of non-displaced ones at all time points except the 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: month could be an important milestone.
