Sternal reconstruction with titanium plates in complicated sternal dehiscence.
OBJECTIVE Sternal dehiscence after median sternotomy can be a challenging problem in case of multiple fractures or infection. The use of titanium plates is a promising approach for sternal reconstruction. METHODS Titanium plate fixation was used in 15 patients (67+/-5.9 years, 171+/-8.2 cm, 93.6+/-14.9 kg, body mass index 32+/-5 kg/m(2)) with unstable thorax after failed attempts of sternal c...
متن کاملOn shunting over a hump
We consider the situation of rearranging freight trains in a shunting yard with a hump and several tracks. Here, an elementary shunting operation is to push a all cars of one track over the hump. On the way back to the tracks the cars can be guided individually to an arbitrary track. The goal is to create one or several trains that have their cars in a particular order. We measure the efficienc...

متن کاملSternal 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 by adding plate fixation in a human cadaver model. METHODS Midline sternotomy was performed in 1...
