Placas de esternón para mejorar la estabilidad


Sternal plating for primary and secondary sternal closure; can it improve sternal stability?: "Transverse sternal plating with 1 or 4 plates significantly improves sternal stability closure in human cadaver model. Adding a single sternal plate to primary closure improves the strength of sternal closure with traditional wiring potentially reducing the risk of sternal dehiscence and could be considered in high risk patients."
