Abstract EN
Trauma may lead to sternal fracture or dislocation.
Dislocation of a sternal segment in the childhood period is very rare as for sternal fractures in children.
There are only six case reports regarding the issue in the literature.
Additionally, there is not an established consensus for the treatment of the pathology.
In this paper we present traumatic dislocation of a sternal body segment in a 10-year-old child who was successfully managed conservatively by closed reduction together with the review of the literature.
Surgical treatment is not necessary especially in acute cases.
Pathology may be treated with closed reduction.
Callus formation usually supports the dislocated part of the sternum in time.
