Sternal plating for primary and secondary sternal closure; can it improve sternal stability?
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...
