Penetrating heart injuries typically present as ruptured myocardium resulting from sharp edged or pointed weapons and firearms. Blunt trauma to the thorax may also cause myocardial rupture by squeezing the heart between the bony structures of the thorax. However, the penetrating trauma resulting from the free ends of the fractured sternum or the ribs puncturing the heart and rupturing the myocardium is seldom seen.
