Retrospective analysis of patients with sternal fracture
Öz: Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Sternal fractures (SFs) are rare pathologies that mainly occur as a result of traffic
accidents, which can cause mortality due to concomitant complications. In this study, we aimed to
evaluate clinical processes and termination status of patients diagnosed with a SF in the emergency
department.
METHODOLOGY: Patients diagnosed with a SF in the emergency department during 8 years were
retrospectively reviewed. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded,
and standard data forms were created.
RESULTS: In total, 128 patients were included in the study; 81 (63.3%) patients were male, and
the mean age was 49.4 years. When the fracture mechanism was examined, car traffic accidents
were the most common type and the cause of fracture in 85 (66.4%) patients. The most common
thoracic pathology accompanying SFs was rib fractures (35.9%), and the most common extrathoracic
pathology was cranial pathology (27.3%). Pericardial effusion was detected in 12 (9.4%) patients.
Of the participating patients, one died and the others were hospitalized.
CONCLUSION: Since SFs and associated complications can be life-threatening, emergency room
physicians should consider it in the diagnosis. In particular, the necessary examinations and follow-up
should be done to assess cardiac damage.
