    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Malformations

    Background:

    • Complete sternal clefts are rare congenital anomalies.
    • Surgical intervention is necessary for sternal defects.

    Observation:

    • A case of primary surgical repair of a complete cleft sternum in a 31-day-old infant is presented.
    • The anomaly was successfully repaired using primary surgical techniques.

    Findings:

    • Early surgical repair of complete sternal clefts is recommended.
    • Primary repair is typically simple, feasible, and yields good results.
    • Alternative surgical procedures were evaluated against primary repair.

    Implications:

    • This study supports early intervention for sternal clefts.
    • A proposed clinical classification may aid in standardizing diagnosis and treatment.
    • Optimal surgical timing and technique are crucial for favorable outcomes in neonates.
