BACKGROUND Tibia shaft fractures (TSF) are common for men and women and cause substantial morbidity, healthcare use, and costs. The impact of nonunions on healthcare use and costs is poorly described. Our goal was to investigate patient characteristics and healthcare use and costs associated with TSF in patients with and without nonunion. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed medical claims in ...
Our aim was to develop a clinically relevant model of atrophic nonunion in the rat to test the hypothesis that the vessel density of atrophic nonunion reaches that of normal healing bone, but at a later time-point. Atrophic nonunion is usually attributed to impaired blood supply and is poorly understood. We determined the number of blood vessels at the site of an osteotomy using immunolocalisat...
This case report describes the repair of a complete sternal dehiscence of the lower right sternum using sternal wires, manubrial plates, and a Talon closure device for rigid, multidimensional sternal fixation. Sternal dehiscence is a rare but significant cause of morbidity for patients undergoing median sternotomy. The risk factors for this complication are well described and although sternal w...
A three day old neonate was referred to our department with a problem of a sternal cleft. Sternal clefts are often associated with a myriad of other abnormalities ranging from mild to severe. We present our experience with such a problem, and review the current literature concerning it.
Sternal dehiscence is a recognised complication after median sternotomy, occurring in 0.5-5% of cases with or without infection. A 72-year-old man presenting with collapse and ventricular tachycardia was investigated for a possible acute cardiac event 2 years after coronary artery bypass grafting for ischemic heart disease. Work-up chest X-ray showed displacement of all sternal wires, and compu...
Median sternotomy can be associated with significant morbidity, including non-union, dehiscence and mediastinitis. The use of flexible thermoreactive sternal clips has been introduced recently as an alternative method of sternal closure and is advocated in patients at increased risk of sternal breakdown. It is associated with a decreased incidence of sternal complications as well as allowing fa...
BACKGROUND Sternal instability with mediastinitis is a very serious complication after median sternotomy. Biomechanical studies have suggested superiority of rigid plate fixation over wire cerclage for sternal fixation. This study tests the hypothesis that sternal closure stability can be improved by adding plate fixation in a human cadaver model. METHODS Midline sternotomy was performed in 1...
Background and purpose: Sternal Wound Infection (SWI) is a serious complication of median sternotomy that increases the rate of mortality. We report our experience of managing SWI in a regional cardiothoracic unit in Mazandaran province, Iran. Materials and methods: We prospectively studied 4725 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting between March 2012 and March 2015...
OBJECTIVE Sternal bleeding during cardiac surgery is currently controlled using bone wax or other chemical substances that may result in adverse effects and affect wound healing and recovery. The purpose of this study was to identify a safe, cost-effective, and easy-to-use technique to reduce sternal bleeding and sternal trauma during cardiac surgery. METHODS After sternotomy, a sternal prote...
PURPOSE Bupivacaine is commonly used for the treatment of back pain and the diagnosis of its origin. Nonunion is sometimes observed after spinal fusion surgery; however, whether the nonunion causes pain is controversial. In the current study, we aimed to detect painful nonunion by injecting bupivacaine into the disc space of patients with nonunion after anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) s...
