Costal fractures and sternal fractures are frequent injuries in the case of blunt thoracic traumas that occur as a result of external violence.
Blunt trauma to the chest usually occurs in the case of traffic accidents, falls from a considerable height, occupational accidents, household accidents, during sporting activities or due to targeted physical violence. Patients usually suffer from severe pain and, as a result, consciously avoid breathing in deeply, coughing and movements that intensify the pain.
Surgical stabilization of costal and sternal fractures can reduce pain and tends to speed up patient mobilization.
