Abstract
Primary repair of sternal cleft deformities are best achieved in the neonatal period. Conversion of a partial defect to a complete sternal cleft with sternal bar mobilization is able to achieve sternal approximation in most cases. We describe a new technique of fracturing the clavicles in unyielding cases as was our experience in a 6-week-old infant.
