Three-dimensional mapping of sternum fractures from high-energy trauma

CONCLUSION This study presents the fractures from sternum injuries in 3D, and provides insight into reproducible sternum injury patterns that have not previously been analyzed in this format. This fracture mapping technique presents numerous injury patterns simultaneously, such that more frequent morphologies can be appreciated for different patient groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic Tests or Criteria; Level V.
