Example domain paragraphs

Your rib cage plays an essential part in protecting the lungs, heart, and other vital organs which is also called the thoracic cavity. When a trauma injury to the chest occurs, such as a car accident or fall, it may result in broken or fractured ribs.

A rib fracture is a crack or break in one of the bones of the rib cage. A break in the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone may also be called a fractured rib, even if the bone itself is not broken.

Ribs with a minor fracture are potentially not as dangerous but could still be painful. However, a jagged edge of broken rib bone can damage internal organs and pose a more significant risk.
