Sternum fracture recovered to normal may have sequelae, such as thoracic deformity collapse, cardiac arrhythmia or traumatic arthritis.
1. Thoracic deformity and collapse: if the fracture of the body’s sternum is healed in the state of misalignment, there will be deformity and healing, which will lead to the phenomenon of thoracic deformity and collapse.
2. Arrhythmia: If the thoracic deformity collapse is serious and causes certain pressure on the heart, it may affect the function of the heart and lead to arrhythmia or abnormal contraction of the heart.
3. Traumatic arthritis: If the sternal fracture affects the thoracic rib joints, the articular cartilage and articular surface may be damaged, which may induce traumatic arthritis.
If the above problems are encountered, it is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and to avoid the occurrence of after-effects.
