    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The suprasternal bone, a rare anatomical variation near the sternoclavicular joint, occurs more frequently in Japanese individuals than previously reported. This finding aids in distinguishing normal variations from pathological conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Embryology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Suprasternal bone is an uncommon normal anatomical variation near the sternoclavicular joint.
    • It is believed to originate from the persistent rudiment of the epicoracoid, a structure that normally forms part of the manubrium sterni.
    • Suprasternal tubercle is considered an osseously fused variant of the suprasternal bone.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated the incidence of suprasternal bone and tubercle in Japanese populations.
    • Radiographic examination was performed on 74 cadaveric sterna and 562 living subjects using Kattan's method.
    • Kattan's method proved effective for clear visualization of the manubrium sterni and sternoclavicular joint.

    Findings:

    • The incidence of suprasternal bone in Japanese cadavera was 10.8% (8/74), and 6.9% (39/562) in living subjects.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Suprasternal tubercles were observed in 18.9% (14/74) of cadavers and 1.4% (8/562) of living subjects.
  • The reported incidence in Japanese individuals is higher than previously documented in foreign populations.

    • Implications:

    • Suprasternal bone is a more common anatomical variation than previously thought.
    • Awareness of this variation is crucial for accurate differential diagnosis, preventing misidentification as pathological changes.
    • This research contributes valuable data on the prevalence of suprasternal bone in the Japanese population.
