Case description

Video case: a penetrating sternal fracture typically occurs when the sternum (breastbone) is broken due to a direct injury or trauma, such as a gunshot or stabbing. It's a serious medical condition that can lead to damage to vital organs in the chest, like the heart and lungs. Immediate medical attention is crucial in such cases to assess the extent of the injury and provide appropriate treatment, which may include surgery to repair the sternum and address any associated organ damage. If you or someone you know is experiencing this, seek emergency medical help right away.
