Accurately depicts a complex sternal (breastbone) fracture as seen in many vehicle accidents where the driver impacts the steering wheel and column. The illustration features a single overview of the anterior (front) rib cage and bones clearly illustrating and labeling the fracture of the mid-sternum. Inset shows the fractured sternum from the side to note the potentially penetrating nature of the fracture towards the underlying heart and thorax.
