Abstract

The sternum is a sword-shaped flat bone about 15-17 cm long in the adult (? Fig. 2.1) (Putz and Müller-Gerbi Benninghoff 2003; Williams and Warwick 1980). Its cranial part, the manubrium, connects to the corpus by a synchondrosis in 90% of adults; in the remaining 10% there is a bony fusion (synostosis).
