Pediatric sternal dislocation is an extremely rare event, with less than 15 cases reported in the literature. We report the case of a traumatic sternal segment dislocation in an 8-year-old male that was caused by an unsuccessful backflip resulting in a direct force to the chest. The diagnosis was made by chest computed tomography. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) were performed with a good outcome noted at follow-up. In addition to a thorough description of this case, we have included an organized review of existing literature with an aim to establish trends in presentation, clinical course, and outcomes among sternal dislocation in the pediatric population.
小儿胸骨脱位极为罕见，文献报道不足15例。我们报告了一例8岁男性因后空翻失败导致胸部直接受力而发生的创伤性胸骨节段脱位病例。通过胸部计算机断层扫描做出诊断。实施了切开复位内固定术（ORIF），随访结果良好。除了对该病例进行详尽描述外，我们还对现有文献进行了系统综述，旨在梳理小儿胸骨脱位的临床表现、临床病程及治疗结果的趋势。
