Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, fell in her office at the court and fractured three ribs, according to a release from the court Thursday.
"She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning," the statement said. "Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment."
Ginsburg's health has been a matter of intense speculation in recent years. Ginsburg, the court's oldest member, is one of the court's four liberal justices. She has survived multiple bouts with cancer, and in 2014 underwent a procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.
The court said that more information would be provided as it became available.
It is not the first time that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs while on the court. In June 2012, Ginsburg fractured two ribs in a fall and did not disclose the incident to the public until months later.

She has a penciled in meeting with McCain ya know...details soon, very soon to be worked out.
You still doubt it?
It’s me. Thank you!
Wow!
Simple really: it’s a painful injury.
I broke one rib at 18 years old and the pain was extreme. For a woman in her mid-80’s to break three, and not go to hospital for a day rates my respect for her physical endurance and toughness.
I didn’t speculate, nor do I care how she received the injury. None of my business really.
As for my injury, it was a reminder that they are called “laws” of physics for a reason, and that running down a tile floored hallway in stocking feet pursued by a 250 lb rugby player is generally a bad idea...
