Manubriosternal and sternoxiphoidal joint fusion can be partial or complete and may be a normal anatomic variant. Complete fusion can be seen at a young age. Pathological fusion can be seen in old age secondary to fusion caused by bridging osteophytes ². It may also be seen in inflammatory arthritis (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis). It is best seen in sagittal and oblique coronal planes ¹.
