While carrying the football in a run for the goal line, a football player is tackled and lands on the ball. On the sideline the player complains of palpable pain where the rib meets the cartilage and sharp pain with any trunk movements. He is having difficulty breathing and feels the rib may be making a crepitus noise each time he takes a breath. How is this condition best managed?
