“…The authors also reported that the median age of patients was 54, 65.3% of them were male, and most frequent cause of trauma was motor vehicle accident (71.9%). [13] Wojcik and Morgan also found that the most common cause of sternal fracture was motor vehicle accident (59%) in their five year retrospective study. [10] Monaco et al reported that 16 of the 50 patients (32%) with sternal fracture had displaced fracture.…”
