The aim of this study was to evaluate titanium plate fixation as a treatment for sternal dehiscence following major cardiac surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2010 and 2012, 17 patients underwent sternal reconstruction usin...
متن کاملAnalysis of Sternal Fixation Results According to Plate Type in Sternal Fracture
BACKGROUND Sternal fractures are relatively rare, and caused mainly by blunt anterior chest wall trauma. In most cases, sternal fractures are treated conservatively. However, if the patient exhibits problematic symptoms such as intractable chest wall pain or bony crepitus due to sternal instability, surgical correction is indicated. But no consensus exists regarding the most appropriate surgica...
متن کاملSternal plate fixation for sternal wound reconstruction: initial experience (Retrospective study)
BACKGROUND Median sternotomy infection and bony nonunion are two commonly described complications which occur in 0.4-5.1% of cardiac procedures. Although relatively infrequent, these complications can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the initial experience of a transverse plate fixation system following wound complications associate...
متن کاملSternal reentry in a patient with previous deep sternal wound infection managed with horizontal titanium plate fixation
Redo open-heart surgery and sternal reentry in patients with previous deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) and absence of sternal integrity can be a delicate and morbid task due the lack of a dissection plane between the heart and the surrounding soft tissues. Delayed sternal reconstruction and osteosynthesis with horizontal titanium plating fixation (Synthes) following vacuum assisted therapy (...
متن کاملTreatment of traumatic sternal fractures with titanium plate internal fixation: a retrospective study
