Sternal infection is a devastating complication of heart surgery. It may be the result of unstable osteosynthesis, caused by the sternal wires cutting into the cortical layers, which results in tension loss and gap formation. We describe a technique that prevents the cerclages from cutting into the sternal plates and covers the sternum with a well-capillarized barrier of major pectoralis muscle.
胸骨感染是心脏手术的一种严重并发症。它可能是由于胸骨钢丝切入皮质层导致骨合成不稳定所致，进而导致张力丧失和间隙形成。我们描述了一种技术，该技术可防止环扎线切入胸骨板，并用胸大肌的良好毛细血管化屏障覆盖胸骨。
