Sternal fractures occurred in 78 out of 2097 consecutive victims of road traffic accidents who required to attend hospital; an incidence of 3.7 per cent. They were most common in restrained, front seat vehicle occupants involved in frontal collisions, and their frequency increased with age. There was a positive association with visceral chest injury but the latter was not thought to be the cause of death in any individual. Follow-up of survivors 2-4 years later revealed potential cardiac sequelae in 6 per cent. |
