Abstract
Introduction and Objectives: Sternum, looks like a sword which is the important bone forms the skeletal framework of the chest and it is the main protective bone of vital organs. The purpose of the study is to view the presence of foramen, shape, location, number of sternal foramen. Materials and Method: A total of 35 dried sternum were obtained from the department of anatomy Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute. The broken bone and the sternum with the degenerative changes is excluded from this study. The photos were documented. Results: Out of 33 bones, one double foramen noticed at the body of the sternum and the
xiphoid process and four single foramen is noticed at the body of the sternum and the Xiphoid process and body of the sternum. The foramen shape shows elliptical and round. Conclusions: The anatomical knowledge of features and variations of sternum be important for the clinician and radiologists for proper interpretation
