RESUMO
Sternal segment dislocation is rare in children, with only eight cases appearing in the literature. Four of the six reports recommended surgical treatment such as excision or open reduction and fixation [1-4], while the remaining two reports recommended conservative observation. Therefore, it remains unclear whether surgical treatment is necessary. We report a case of sternal segment dislocation in a child. Although the segment had rotated 90°, it was remodeled. We now believe that surgical treatment is not necessary for this condition.
