Abstract

Sternum fractures in children are very rare (0.004-0.07% of all paediatric fractures) with an increasing incidence with age. Sternum fractures may result from a direct or an indirect trauma. Most cases are the result of falls or high velocity trauma mechanisms. This chapter describes the circumstances under which sternum fractures occur with emphasis on the difference between accidental and non-accidental (inflicted) injury.
