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 by adding plate fixation in a human cadaver model. METHODS Midline sternotomy was performed in 1...
متن کاملSternal 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 کاملTherapy options in deep sternal wound infection: Sternal plating versus muscle flap
BACKGROUND Management of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) in cardiac surgical patients still remains challenging. A variety of treatment strategies has been described. Aim of this cohort study was to analyse two different treatment strategies for DSWI: titanium sternal plating system (TSFS) and muscle flap coverage (MFC). METHODS Between January 2007 and December 2011, from 3122 patients u...
متن کاملThe laparoscopically harvested omental flap and transverse plate fixation for sternal reconstruction in complicated sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery
Methods Between 2010 and 2011, 6 patients with type IV deep sternal wound infection underwent a sternal reconstruction with a laparoscopically harvested omental flap and transverse plate fixation. The median age of the cohort (1 female and 5 males), was 72.5 years (range: 4978 years). In 5 patients, a bilateral internal thoracic artery had been used. Considerable preoperative risk factors were ...
متن کاملBilateral pectoralis advancement flaps and transverse plate fixation system for sternal reconstruction in the complicated sternal wound
Methods Between 2008 and 2012, 24 patients with a complicated sternal wound underwent a sternal reconstruction with bilateral pectoralis advancement flaps and a transverse plate fixation system. The median age of the cohort (4 female and 20 males), was 65.8 years (range: 33-83 years). In 19 patients, a bilateral internal thoracic artery had been used. Considerable preoperative risk factors were...
