Abstract
In this paper [1], the authors describe a novel and potentially useful method for evaluating the healing of median sternotomy incisions based on the transmittance of sound. It is important to note that a preoperative transmittance observation is required for each patient because the measurement is a dimensionless ratio of the postoperative to the preoperative transmittance. This ratio determines if the sternum has healed back to the preoperative state in terms of response to vibration, and assumes that transmittance is a valid metric for the strength of the healed sternum.
