Faulty sternotomy and complications after median sternotomy

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1988
In 11 of 55 patients with complications of median sternotomy, a paramedian sternotomy has been detected by computed tomography or at reparative operation. The thin side of the sternum is easily broken by the closing wires, this being the cause of instability and probably dehiscence and consequent infection and osteomyelitis.
