Abstract

Sternal dehiscence after median sternotomy can be a challenging problem in case of multiple fractures or infection. For sternal refixation, the principles of rigid plate and screw osteosynthesis gained from orthopedic surgery have been recommended by several authors. We present a new system for sternal reconstruction consisting of reconstruction plates, steel cables, and cannulated screws.
