a sternal fracture is a fracture of the sternum (the breastbone), located in the center of the chest. the injury, which occurs in 5–8% of people who experience significant blunt chest trauma, may occur in vehicle accidents, when the still-moving chest strikes a steering wheel or dashboard or is injured by a seatbelt. cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr), has also been known to cause thoracic injury, including sternum and rib fractures. sternal fractures may also occur as a pathological fracture, in people who have weakened bone in their sternum, due to another disease process. sternal fracture can interfere with breathing by making it more painful; however, its primary significance is that it can indicate the presence of serious associated internal injuries, especially to the heart and lungs.
