A member asked:

Is it true that sternum in fracture or median sternotomy heal faster than other bone even when you're old (>50) and that produce bone till death???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Like other potential fractures it may not heal at all ever. Normally the older you get the longer it takes to heal.
