“…Due to the rarity of lesion, there is no standard surgical treatment, and fixation by means of cervical cerclage, thread sutures, fixation with Kirschner or Steinmann wire, osteosynthesis with plates, or the use of bioabsorbable materials were described (10,11,17,22) . We used fixation with two parallel plates and monocortical fixed-angle screws, inserted in the body of the sternum and manubrium, after open reduction of the manubriosternal joint.…”
