【 摘 要 】

Plate osteosynthesis for oblique fracture of the manubrium sterni is quite rare. We present a case of a 37-year-old man with oblique fracture of the manubrium sterni caused by a traumatic injury. He was operated on using a variable-angle locking compression plate Mesh Plate 2.4/2.7 and had a good postoperative result. We also discuss intraoperative safe techniques such as use of a cement spatula for reduction support tools and depth-limited drilling to prevent excess drilling of the opposite cortex.
