German to English Medical Medical (general) Medical journal article about sternum fracture caused by epileptic seizure
This term comes up in the description of the clinical findings:

Es stellte sich eine lokale Druckdolenz in Projektion auf das Corpus sterni dar, ohne Schwellung oder Hämatom, jedoch mit palpabler Stufe und scheinbarem Versatz des distalen Fragments nach ventral. Die weitere Untersuchung des knöchernen Thorax, insbesondere der Wirbelsäule, zeigte keinen pathologischen Befund.


I understand this to mean that the bone is projecting due to the fracture. Not sure if there is better term for it.
