TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Sternal fracture due to airbag injury: case report JO - Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi A1 - Kapısız, Nazmiye Selcuk A1 - Ozpolat, Berkant A1 - Kapısız, Fahri A1 - Yucel, Ertan SP - 181 EP - 182 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - Although airbags reduce the overall risk of injury and death from motor vehicle accidents, the airbag may cause injuries during deployment. We present a case of apparently isolated sternal fracture caused by airbag deployment during a motor vehicle crash and we discuss the ultrasonographic diagnosis. We also examine the mechanism of injury caused by the airbag.
