Abstract
In this article we describe 5 cases of rib stress fractures in novice middle‐aged right‐handed golf players. In 4 of the 5 cases the stress fracture was on the right side. The ribs involved were 6 and 7. The left 3rd rib was fractured in one case. Because of the diffuse nature of the symptoms, thoragic cage pains in golfers may easily be misdiagnosed as a muscular complaint. However, if the chest pain symptoms are persistent and continue despite rest from physical activities, we suggest ultrasonography or chest X‐ray to confirm the diagnosis.
