X-RAY EVALUATION OF THE LEFT RIBS, FOUR VIEWS
INDICATION FOR STUDY: Previous x-ray from January 05,
2011. Question of fractures of the left
fifth and sixth ribs.
FINDINGS: There is still concern for an area of
fracture, which on this study appears to represent the seventh rib. There is slight callus formation surrounding
it. There is no clear evidence of other
fractures identified. In comparison to
the prior study, this most likely represents what was described is the sixth
rib previously. There does not appear to
be significant displacement. There is no
evidence of pneumothorax on the left. If
there is any further concern, would recommend further evaluation as needed.
Thank you for the referral.
XXXXXXXX, M.D.
