Abstract

Isolated fracture of the sternum is an uncommon injury in a child. We report two cases of sternal fracture following falls from swings, which illustrate the mechanisms of injury in sternal fracture. One fracture resulted from a flexion compression injury of the thoracic spine, which has very rarely been reported in children. Sternal fracture should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute chest pain in a child where there has been an activity involving hyperflexion force.

摘要

孤立性胸骨骨折在儿童中是一种罕见的损伤。我们报告两例因从秋千上跌落导致的胸骨骨折病例，这两例病例说明了胸骨骨折的损伤机制。其中一例骨折是由胸椎的屈曲压缩伤导致的，这种情况在儿童中很少有报道。对于有过涉及过度屈曲力活动的儿童急性胸痛，在鉴别诊断时应考虑胸骨骨折。
