A fracture of the sternum in a child

F L Perez Jr et al. J Pediatr Orthop. 1983 Sep.

Abstract

Fractures of the sternum are seldom seen due to its anatomical structure and supporting structures. The incidence of sternal lesions in children is extremely rare, and the scarcity of published accounts warrants reporting this case, which was treated successfully without surgery.
