Abstract

Despite an increased frequency of chest trauma encountered, manubriosternal joint (MSJ)  disruption from blunt injury without associated spine or rib injuries are a rare occurrence and are often outside the focus of acute care surgeons. However, being a marker lesion for severe trauma, here we report the case of a 32 year old male who suffered MSJ disruption following a motor vehicle collision managed non-operatively and also review the mechanism and management of these injuries.
