“…19,20 In contrast, stress fractures are less common and can be associated with minimal morbidity. [21][22][23] Most stress fractures of the first rib are related to vigorous repetitive upper extremity motion, as seen in baseball players and other athletes, [24][25][26][27] and may arise in a manner similar to stress fractures of other ribs, as observed in rowing athletes. [28][29][30][31] The groove for the subclavian artery in the lateral portion of the bone is the most common location for first rib stress fractures, and these lesions can be extremely difficult to detect, requiring thin-slice computed tomography imaging and radionuclide bone scans.…”

“…Há, inclusive, um local de predileção dessa fratura, que é o sulco subclávio. Os casos descritos na literatura de fraturas em práticas esportivas são em futebol americano, futebol, baseball, basquete, tênis, rugby, surf, arremesso de peso, levantamento de peso e danças rítmicas (8,12,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) .…”

“…No tratamento de fratura de primeira costela, na maioria das vezes, deve-se imobilizar o membro do mesmo lado da fratura e evitar atividades que produzam contração muscular que atue sobre a primeira costela, permitindo, assim, a cicatrização adequada da fratura (15,20,25) .…”

“…First rib fractures resulting from sudden muscular pull, particularly involving the serratus anterior muscle, have also been described in various sports injuries such as weightlifting, basketball, football, surfing, baseball, and gymnastics. 17,22,23,25,26,29 Stress or fatigue fracture resulting from repetitive muscle tension has also been described as a common mechanism of fracture to the first rib. An analysis by Alderson 34 of 77 607 chest x-rays of young healthy adult male naval personnel revealed 73 (0.001%) isolated first rib fractures or evidence of fracture (callus or pseudoarthrosis).…”
