- Unfortunately, the sternum is often in the way when doing surgery in the thoracic cavity, and occasionally has to be cut open through the middle. Fractures of the sternum are very uncommon. The most usual cause is impact with the steering wheel of an automobile in a collision. Another common cause is repeated trauma playing sports like gridiron football and rugby.
- The sternum was a bone located at the front of the Human chest that was connected to the ribs. When Jono attacked a sleeping Jean-Luc Picard with a Klingon d'k tahg in 2367, the blade hit Picard's sternum and was deflected, causing no serious wounds. (TNG: "Suddenly Human" )
- In Humans, the sternum was a flat bone that ran down the center of the chest, to which the ribs were attached. When Darth Vader was put in a life-supporting armor following his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi, the medical droids replaced his sternum with a perforated metal plate that could accommodate the cables running to a chest computer.

The mythosaurs that lived on the Outer Rim world of Mandalore possessed sternums composed of rigid bone. The sternum of a dead mythosaur was removed and carved to create the ceremonial mask of Mandalore the First, after his Taung warriors conquered slaughtered the mythosaurs.
