Which ribs are directly related to the spleen?

Explanation:
The spleen sits high in the left upper quadrant tucked under the left diaphragmatic dome, and its diaphragmatic surface rests against the lower ribs of the left side. Specifically, it is in contact with the ribs from the 9th through the 11th. Because of this contact, those ribs are the ones directly related to the spleen, and fractures or trauma in that region can affect the spleen.
