Abstract
Sternal dehiscence after median sternotomy can be a challenging problem in case of multiple fractures or infection. To treat such patients, the principles of rigid plate and screw osteosynthesis gained from orthopedic surgery have been recommended by several authors for sternal refixation. We present our closure technique of dehiscent infected sternum with a new sternal closure system (Synthes, Switzerland) consisting of cannulated screws, steel cables and reconstruction plates.
