A rare congenital sternal cleft was successfully reconstructed in a 7-year-old boy. The defect was repaired using a split iliac bone graft and a pectoralis major flap.

Area of Science:

  • Congenital anomalies
  • Thoracic surgery
  • Pediatric surgery

Background:

  • Sternal clefts are rare congenital malformations.
  • Surgical reconstruction is necessary for sternal defects.
  • This case highlights a specific surgical approach for sternal cleft repair.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old boy presented with a sternal cleft.
  • The sternal defect required surgical intervention.
  • A combined bone graft and flap technique was considered.

Findings:

  • The sternal cleft was successfully reconstructed.
  • A split iliac bone graft was utilized for bony defect coverage.
  • A pectoralis major flap provided soft tissue coverage over the graft.

Implications:

  • This surgical technique offers a viable option for sternal cleft repair.
  • The combined graft and flap method ensures structural integrity and adequate coverage.
  • Further studies can explore long-term outcomes of this reconstructive approach.
