title: [Treatment of sternum fractures].
abstract: The frequency and the treatment of the sternal fractures is discussed by the authors. 5 patients with sternal fractures have been treated by the authors, and 3 of them were operated on. In one patient early operation has been performed, and in another the osteosynthesis of the sternum has been carried out 3 years after the lesion. In the 3d patient the bone piece broken down from the sternum damaged the arteria mammaria int. sin., necessitating thus surgical intervention.
