Sternal fractures are the result of motor vehicle collisions in 60% to 90% of cases. They typically result from the chest striking the steering wheel, with most injuries occurring in older vehicles with no airbag deployment. Fractures are slightly more prevalent in females than males.
Primary malignant tumors of the sternum generally fall into two categories: solid tumors, which include primary bony or cartilaginous tumors and soft tissue sarcomas, and small cell tumors, which are usually systemic but may present as a localized sternal mass.
The chest wall is comprised of skin, fat, muscles, and the thoracic skeleton. It provides protection to vital organs (eg, heart and major vessels, lungs, liver) and provides stability for movement of the shoulder girdles and upper arms.
33020CPT code 33020 is performed via a median sternotomy, at which time the surgeon must be prepared for the possibility of profound hemodynamic collapse and/or the emergent establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Indications. Although the median sternotomy is predominantly associated with cardiac surgery, it is a useful incision for a number of other operations. The incision also allows access to both pleural spaces, making it useful for some thoracic operations, retrosternal goiter access and esophagectomy.

The sternum, or breastbone, is a long flat bone in the center of the chest. It protects the heart and also serves as the connection point for the costal cartilage. The clavicle, or collarbone, extends across the front of the shoulder from the sternum to the scapula, or shoulder blade.
The sternum – sometimes called the breastbone – is the flat bone in the center of your chest. Your ribs and collarbone connect to your sternum. A break in your sternum is also known as a sternal fracture. Most sternal fractures heal on their own and don't need surgery.
Sternal fractures are frequently diagnosed using a lateral chest x-ray or CT scan of the chest. Sternal fractures increase the risk of and are commonly associated with other injuries.
