What Causes Breaking Of The 6th Rib?

I suffered a fall after a long day of physical activity including kayaking. I woke up with severe pain in the left side of my chest. Also have pain with deep breaths. Doctor told me x-rays only showed an old break in the 6th rib. I don't recall ever suffering a break before. Could this calcified break in the 6th rib actually be from this fall 2 days ago?
