<br/><br/> From the study, the following conclusions seem justified: Hpertrophic and keloid scars could occur everywhere in the body; however, the sternum is one of the commonest sites to develop hypertrophic and keloid scars especially following median sternotomy incision. The lower half of the sternotomy wound is more susceptible to develop hypertrophic and keloid scars than the upper half, regardless of the suture materials used in skin closure
