Abstract:
Plate osteosynthesis for oblique fracture of the manubrium sterni is quite rare. We present a case of a 37-year-old man with oblique fracture of the manubrium sterni caused by a traumatic injury. He was operated on using a variable-angle locking compression plate Mesh Plate 2.4/2.7 and had a good postoperative result. We also discuss intraoperative safe techniques such as use of a cement spatula for reduction support tools and depth-limited drilling to prevent excess drilling of the opposite cortex.

The Thoracic Cage: Sternum
4.4K
The thoracic or rib cage forms the body's thorax (chest) portion. Its primary function in the body is to protect vital organs in the thoracic cavity, such as the heart and the lungs. It consists of 12 pairs of ribs with their costal cartilages and the sternum. The ribs are anchored posteriorly to the 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12).
The sternum is the elongated bony structure on the anterior side of the thoracic cage. It consists of three parts: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid...

Flail Chest-II
338
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.
