Abstract

A bone scan-based retrospective review of 1265 patients with breast cancer who underwent surgery revealed spontaneous rib fractures in 209 patients. Abnormal bone density, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were identified as the significant risk factors for spontaneous rib fractures. In the radiotherapy subgroup, a hypofractionated scheme was identified as the risk factor for the ipsilateral rib fractures.
