Sternal osteomylitis due to arrow-head injury: A rare case report.

Sternal osteomyelitis secondary to penetrating trauma is an uncommon entity and only few cases have been reported. We report a case of sternal osteomyelitis in a patient with sickle-cell anaemia with a unique past history of arrow-head injury who presented with signs and symptoms of sternal infection. Imaging studies suggested osteomyelitis and the patient underwent sternal debridement, with a successful outcome.
