Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trauma to the ribs can cause a hemothorax, which is a collection of blood in the pleural cavity (the space between the chest wall and lungs). This condition can cause difficulty breathing and may require medical intervention. Airway obstruction, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolus are all possible complications of trauma, but they are not directly related to rib injury.
