Fracture with angulation at anterior end of right 4th rib, with mild displacement.
Case Discussion
While rib fractures are a common association of trauma, and may often be life-threatening, it is quite easy to miss them on plain x-ray. In the present case, the fracture could easily be missed if the other fractures (femoral, pubic rami) did not prompt meticulous search.
