    Author: Kuru P, Ermerak NO, Bostanci K, Yuksel M.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2015 Jun; 23(5):591-2. PubMed ID: 25178468.
    Abstract:
    Sternal cleft is a rare chest wall deformity associated with various malformations. Primary closure is the gold standard in the newborn period. Alternative techniques are possible for older patients. A 23-year-old woman with a partial sternal cleft and no additional deformity, underwent reconstruction using costal cartilage grafts. Postoperative physical and functional were excellent.
